Correction and Outcome Calculator
Multiple studies have shown that the final outcome in bracing is proportional to the number of hours the brace is worn and proportional to the amount in “in-brace correction” achieved (reduction in size of the curve when comparing the in-brace x-ray to the original x-ray).
In-Brace Correction Calculation
Expected “In-Brace Correction” will vary primarily depending on factors of curve type and sex.
The inclusion of other defining factors of curve pattern, curve size, age (Risser value) and weight allows us to more accurately predict the amount of in-brace correction.
