Article Synopsis
- Scoliosis is a common issue in patients with neuromuscular diseases, and the double-shelled brace (DSB) is used to improve stability and quality of life.
- The study analyzed 84 patients, measuring spine radiographs with and without the DSB to assess the correction in Cobb angles, showing improvements of 27.5% in the lumbar spine and 25.3% in the thoracic spine.
- Short-term use of the DSB resulted in significant corrections regardless of factors like age and sex, though spasticity was noted to affect outcomes in lumbar scoliosis.
