Dear Listservers....
We recently had the parents of a young scoliosis patient (Soto
Syndrome...look that one up!) approach us about bracing options. The
parents had been referred to us by a Pediatric Orthopod who recomended
Boston style bracing at this stage. We discussed bracing options with
her and outlined the course of treatment. We also provided several
research papers outlining the expected results. The parents are very
skeptical/timid/afraid, and have since found out about the Copes
scoliosis brace, and they have asked for our opinion. Having not seen
or used this brace in Canada, we are hoping to get some opinions and
comments from practioners who have seen the brace/system, and send
them along to the concerned mother.
Thank You
