- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Our primary objective is to compare the two braces, the classic Boston brace and new developed brace, by means of comparing body brace interface pressure and measured Cobbs angles on the control X-rays.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Our secondary objective is optimize the scoliosis brace treatment to the individual situation of each scoliosis patient by applying body brace interface pressure measurements as well as the Cobbs angles correction in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
