The Rigo-Cheneau (Rigo) is a very unique and innovative brace. The Rigo applies both de-torsional forces and three-point pressure systems to improve spinal alignment in all three dimensions. It utilizes a “selective pressure system” to apply pressure only to areas requiring correction. Using pads that are designed and oriented in a highly specific manner, pressure is applied to bring the patient into the best possible 3-dimensional correction. In areas that do not require correction, relief areas are built-in to encourage movement and shifting as well as chest expansion.
Some of the notable innovative features of the Rigo brace are:
Selective pressure application
Low-profile
Allows for chest expansion when breathing
Relief areas allow for comfort including coolness
Easy to put on
