First reported clinical results:
Veldhuizen AG, Cheung J, Bulthuis GJ, Nijenbanning G.: A new orthotic
device in the non-operative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis.
Affiliation AG Veldhuizen: Department of Orthopaedics, University
Hospital of Groningen
PO Box: 30.001, 9700, RB Groningen, The Netherlands.
Med Eng Phys. 2002 Apr;24(3):209-18
Abstract:
A transverse force system, consisting of an anterior progression
force counteracted by a posterior force and torque, acts on the
vertebrae of a scoliotic spine. The aim of the newly introduced TriaC
brace is to reverse this transverse force pattern by externally applied
and constantly present orthotic forces. In the frontal plane the force
system in the TriaC brace is in accordance with the force system of the
conventional braces. However, in the sagittal plane the force system
acts only in the thoracic region. As a result, there is no pelvic tilt,
and it provides flexibility without affecting the correction forces
during body motion. In the current preliminary study it is demonstrated
that the brace prevents further progression of the Cobb angle and axial
rotation in idiopathic scoliosis. The new brace has the added advantage
of comfort for the wearer, and it offers a better cosmetic appearance,
as well as, potentially, a better compliance.
