Title:
Infantile Scoliosis / Kalibus scoliosis brace
Text:
I have a 21 month old female with the singular diagnosis of infantile
scoliosis. When she was 10.5 months her curve was 35 degrees left,
thoracolumbar, apex was T11/12. She was fit into a custom Charleston Bending
Brace, but progressed nonetheless to 52 degrees. The Physician has returned
her to us for a custom Boston Brace to be worn during the day, and back to
her Charleston at night.
The kind folks at Boston Brace called and told me that if we do not get the
results we are hoping for, they on occasion make a Kalibus (spelling may be
incorrect) brace for children this small. Unfortunately, they didn't have
much in the way of follow up information on the brace. I believe it is
fabricated from leather, and is adjustable. Does anyone out there have
information or experience to share with me about this?
I will compile and post the replies.
