I am an orthotic resident and have seen several scoliosis patients. I am
curious to know how many practitioners have seen actual
hypercorrection/overcorrection of their patients curves in night time
orthotics. My minimal experience has shown correction in night time
orthotics to be near neutral or neutral. However, as I understand these
night time orthotics they should be achieving a significant amount of
correction with a flexible curve.
How many degrees of correction would be enough?
If I can not gain hypercorrection should I still be using a night time system?
Does anyone know of any scientific studies specifically in this area?
