ORIGINAL POST:
Has anyone had experience or success incorporating pneumatic pads in a
scoliosis orthosis?
Randy McFarland, CPO Fullerton, CA
RESPONSES:
I've never used pneumatic pads with scoliosis. On the surface, it does
not seem like a good idea. Kids used to stash their Milwaukee TLSOs
in the alley hiding places on the way to school in years gone by. I
suppose they still do. It seems that pneumatic pads will offer them
similar opportunities for non-compliance.
I have 30 plus braces out with pneumatic pads. Two are in the LA area we
used
to work with a chiropractor out there.
Dr.Copes uses them in the Copes Brace. He claims to be the only cure
for scoliosis.
that is the only Orthosis that I've seen with pneumatic pads.
If your reply to me comes back undeliverable, please forward that
error message to our IT guy, Bruce.
