Currently, the diagnosis of scoliosis relies solely on an x-ray, but clinically there is much more involved. In addition to a sideways curvature of the spine (frontal dimension; image 1 below) there is also vertebral rotation, or twisting, of the spine (transverse dimension; image 2 below), as well as a flattening of the trunk, referred to as “flat back” (sagittal dimension; image 3 below). These asymmetries are not always visible on an x-ray, but can often be seen during a clinical exam. When standing behind a patient with scoliosis, the shoulders, hips, and waist appear uneven. Viewed from the side, a patient’s profile may also appear to have a reduced kyphotic curvature. Upon a forward bend, the ribs may have a prominence and one shoulder blade may be more prominent than the other.
Because it works! The three dimensional nature of scoliosis has been known for a long time, but only in the past 15 years have these concepts been used in the India to design and create scoliosis braces. Recent studies have shown that braces incorporating 3-dimensional correction are better able to reduce curvature and rotation, improve alignment, and achieve superior patient compliance and outcomes.
The 3D DDS Scoliosis Brace is the latest iteration of the traditional Boston Brace. Originally the Boston Brace was a modular design, used to treat the sideways curvature of the spine. New design concepts and a better understanding of scoliosis have enabled us to enhance the original Boston Brace into a new design that incorporates the principles of 3-dimensional correction.
The 3D DDS Scoliosis Brace uses state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology to digitally scan each patient’s unique body shape. The brace is fabricated based on the patient's curve shape and flexibility. The brace is designed to have slight shifts and pressure areas built into the brace as well as small voids to allow for de-rotation. Foam pads are used to apply pressure and windows are used to encourage shifting. The pads are oriented to push on specific areas of the torso to bring the patient into the best possible 3-dimensional correction.
Some of the notable innovative features of the 3D DDS brace are:
▪️Selective pressure application
▪️Low-profile
▪️Latest iteration of traditional Boston Brace
▪️Designed to apply 3D correction
