Abstract

Objective: A single-center descriptive retrospective study to determine the effects in brace correction of R&L Sansai scoliosis brace (RLSS brace) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Method: 32 patients with a diagnosis of AIS at Sansai hospital between 2018-2020 who had Cobb’s angle > 20 and have been wearing RLSS brace for more than 3 months were recruited. The demographic data, patients’ compliance and Scoliosis Research Society- 22 (SRS-22) were collected. Risser signs, curve type, Cobb angle were measured from radiographs. Cobb’s angle at before treatment and in brace were compared on Paired t-test. Change in Cobb’s angle over time were also analyzed.

Results: A total of 32 patients (1 male and 31 female), average aged   15.83+4.58   years, 87.9 % were Risser 3-4.  There were 13 WCR classification type A (37.5%), the compliance was good in 81.2 % of patient. Average duration of treatment was 12 months, average duration of wearing brace was 12 hrs/day, average Cobb’s angle before treatment was 42.68 and average Cobb’s angle in brace correction was 28.78°. When compared before treatment and in brace correction, there were decreased in average Cobb’s angle (P<0.001). The average total SRS-22 score was 87.03% (3.96/5). The domains for mental health (3.83/5) and self-image (3.28/5) were most affected. Most common symptoms included swelter (62.5%), pain at rib prominence (62.5%), and skin irritation (43.8%).

Conclusion: The present study confirmed the efficacy of in brace correction of RLSS brace in AIS in a large majority of cased.
