- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main objective of the study is to quantify the effect of conservative treatment of AIS with the use of the new developed Maastricht brace (ABR 09-02-029) by determining the deformation of cobb’s angle over time, using longitudinal radiological assessment with use of anteroposterior and lateral full spine radiographs.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Secondary Objectives:<br /><br>• Compliance in brace treatment for AIS Using an incorporated thermo sensor in the brace to objectify actual brace wearing by the patients.<br /><br>• Pulmonary function in thoracolumbar brace Brace wear should result in changes in pulmonary function, predictable in nature. Pulmonary function at end point of brace wear comparable to healthy subject. (compared to non-brace wear)<br /><br>• Pressure measurements in brace Is the brace able to apply the requested amount of force<br /><br>• Motion analysis in brace (VICON)<br /><br>Is the brace allowing the patient to demonstrate a normal walking pattern compared to healthy subjects</p><br>
