Enhancing the Therapeutic Effect of Bracing for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis With a Hybrid Bracing Protocol
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Hybrid Bracing: Hybrid Bracing includes daytime Underarm Brace(UAB) and nighttime Lateral Bending Brace(LBB)
Conventional fulltime Underarm Bracing: Conventional group includes fulltime Underarm Brace (UAB) only.
Study summary
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial investigating the therapeutic effect of the Hybrid Bracing Protocol (HyBP) over the Conventional Brace in enhancing In-brace Correction (IBC) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS).
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- In-brace Correction (IBC) — From date of randomization, assessed up to 2 years after bracing stopped at skeletal maturity
Although bracing is considered to be useful, its effectiveness hinges on various factors one of which is the in-brace curve correction, ie In-brace Correction (IBC). IBC is defined as the percentage of Cobb angle change during an X-ray with the brace fitted on the patient.
