Summary
Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity in children and adolescents with an estimated prevalence of 3%. About one tenth of the children with scoliosis develop a deformity that requires treatment with brace or surgery with the current treatment protocol. When brace treatment for scoliosis is indicated, standard treatment consists of bracing 20 hours or more per day. Outcomes of brace treatment depend to a large extent on wearing time and since many adolescents feel uncomfortable in the brace, it is of importance to combine efficacy and comfortability of the brace.
