A Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Clinical Effectiveness of 3D-Printed Orthosis in the Management of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Spine, 2021
A prospective RCT was conducted to compare the treatment effectiveness of the 3D-printed orthosis and the conventional orthosis in the management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The 3D-printed orthosis could provide similar clinical effectiveness and

The Thoracic Suspension Orthosis

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1979
Five year's experience with the thoracic suspension orthosis at Newington Children's Hospital has shown it to be an effective and very useful adjunct in the management of neuromuscular spinal deformity. The orthosis converts the thorax into a weight-bearing structure, thereby reducing the vertical load on the spine and allowing the abdomen and pelvis ...

The vancouver microstomia orthosis

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1989
Eighteen microstomia orthoses are compared with respect to their characteristics, use, and limitations. A new prosthesis, the Vancouver microstomia orthosis, was designed to incorporate the advantages of many of the orthoses and eliminate some drawbacks. Ten adults with microstomia secondary to second- or third-degree circumoral flame burns were fitted
