The Effect of Flexible Thoracolumbar Brace on Spinal Alignment, Pain and Quality of Life in Subjects With Neuromuscular Scoliosis
- Conditions
- Neuromuscular Scoliosis
- Interventions
- Device: thoracolumbar brace (Flexpine brace)
- Registration Number
- NCT04012112
- Lead Sponsor
- Seoul National University Hospital
- Brief Summary
In the initial evaluation, the degree of spine is measured quantitatively using Cobb's angle and Muscular Dystrophy Spine Questionnaire (MDSQ). The patients who had Cobbs angle of 20-45 'by spinal plain radiography were evaluated for the effects of flexpine brace wearing and rehabilitation for 6 months. After 12 months, whole spine X-ray was taken for the followed up the patient's status.
