There are dozens of different types of orthotics (corsets) for scoliosis. What kind of orthosis is best suited for scoliosis?　Parents and guardians may be very concerned about this question. Most orthotics are recommended to be worn at all times. If they are to be worn continuously for a long period of time, one might think that a lightweight, compact type would be better. On the other hand, lightweight, easy-to-wear devices may have less corrective power than solidly shaped types. In addition, the shape of the shell (outer frame) may need to be modified or remodeled frequently as the patient grows. In other cases, the pads are pushed in firmly from the inside of the shell, and although it may be possible to simply correct the position of the pads, the brace itself may become larger.

It is also important to consider the shape of the brace in accordance with the child's daily habits. It is also important to consider when scoliosis exercises should be performed. If you have any questions or requests for orthotics, please contact us.
