Dear All,
I have a 13 year old scoliosis patient who has�3 curvatures with apexes at T4, T8
and L3, respectively.� I am fitting her with the Milwaukee TLSO. The in brace X-ray
showed great results on the T8 thoracic curve and the L3 lumbar curve, but the T4 curve
showed no correction.��� Can any experienced Orthotist give me any
instructions on how to solve this problem? Where and how to apply the force for the T4
curve?� What shape of padding/staps is needed?鼦ny suggestions at all?? �
Thank you.
