| Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity characterized by a Cobb angle greater than 10 degrees and lateral curvature of the spine in addition to vertebral rotation. Women are 10 times more likely to have a Cobb angle of 30 degrees or more. Scoliosis treatment guidelines state that skeletally immature patients with a curvature of 25-40 should be treated with a brace to prevent progression of the curvature. Although there are many corset designs, the most common ones are Milwaukee, Boston, Rigo-Cheneau, Providence, Lyon, Wilmington, Charleston and SpineCor orthoses. When the literature is examined, we see that the Milwaukee orthosis has not been preferred by adolescents due to cosmetic incompatibility in recent years, and Charleston and Providence orthoses, which are worn at night, are used instead. In addition, it can be said that Boston, Rigo-Cheneau, Lyon, Wilmington and SpineCor orthoses have become much more useful and efficient with the latest updates. In this context, the aim of our study will be to introduce the orthotic approaches that are frequently used in the treatment of AIS in the literature. |
