SRS Manual of Brace Treatment
Published in 1998 by SRS and edited by Dale E. Rowe, MD, et al.
Presented at the 33rd SRS conference in New York City, 1998
At the time of publication, was the most comprehensive compilation of AIS brace-related information

“A History of Bracing for IS in North America”
Comprehensive history of bracing options and commonly used braces up to 2009
However, newer designs focus on three-dimensional correction
Fayssoux, R, Cho, R, Herman, M. A History of Bracing for Idiopathic Scoliosis in North America. Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2010 March; 468(3): 654-664. doi: 10.1007/s11999-009-0888-5.

BrAIST Study Bracing in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Trial University of Iowa, NIH Funded, 2007 - 2013
Principle Investigator: Stuart Weinstein, MD Study Director: Lori Dolan, PhD
Purpose: “To compare the risk of curve progression in
adolescents with AIS who wear a brace versus those who do not and to determine whether there are reliable factors that can predict the usefulness of bracing for a particular individual with AIS.”

BrAIST: Preliminary Findings
Bracing is effective in stopping or slowing the progression of curves
Correlation between bracing outcome and orthotist skill and competence
Highlights need for advancement in research, orthotist training, and brace design

Chêneau Brace Jacques Chêneau, MD initially
designs brace in 1960s and 1970s in France
1979: Dr. Chêneau publishes successes with novel brace design incorporating 3-D correction and regional derotation
1985 & 2004: Long-term follow up studies published demonstrating stable curve patterns
Many design variations exist internationally; rarely used in North America
![Page 20: Luke Stikeleather, CO€¦ · Boston Brace John Hall, MD & William Miller, CO Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, 1972 Symmetrical, prefabricated modules or custom](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071001/5fbe1c6f440b9e5a725e3576/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

derotation concepts with expansion spaces and true three-dimensional correction principles
Asymmetrical, anterior-opening Growing use by Rigo-educated
orthotists in North America since 2004
![Page 21: Luke Stikeleather, CO€¦ · Boston Brace John Hall, MD & William Miller, CO Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, 1972 Symmetrical, prefabricated modules or custom](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071001/5fbe1c6f440b9e5a725e3576/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Current State of Scoliosis Bracing in North America The Boston style posterior-opening brace continues to
be the most commonly prescribed brace
Newer designs like the Rigo-Cheneau, GOSS, and others, which more effectively address three-dimensional correction, are gaining acceptance
Ultimately, the success of any bracing regimen depends on competence of the orthotist, construction of the brace, and compliance of the wearer
![Page 22: Luke Stikeleather, CO€¦ · Boston Brace John Hall, MD & William Miller, CO Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, 1972 Symmetrical, prefabricated modules or custom](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071001/5fbe1c6f440b9e5a725e3576/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Objectives for the Future Greater emphasis on training competent and
proficient orthotists
Sustained financial support for research and development of biomechanically-sound brace designs
Intentional international collaboration between SOSORT, SRS, ISPO, and others
