The Boston Brace 3D® is the next innovation in the non-operative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis. Our clinical experts have combined knowledge of the three-dimensional scoliosis curvature with the latest in shape capture and CAD/CAM technologies. This enhanced brace design comes from the unique and selective shift/push/relief combination of corrective forces that are fabricated into each brace.
How the Boston Brace 3D Works
Scoliosis is a three dimensional abnormality, and the Boston Brace 3D orthosis works to correct the spine in all three planes—coronal, sagittal and transverse. The custom-made Boston Brace 3D features an improved brace design with a unique shift/push combination of forces that move the spine into a corrected position. Additional space is provided for rotational correction and breathing mechanics.
Custom Fabricated Using CAD/CAM Technology
To ensure maximal curve correction, the Boston Brace 3D is custom designed for each individual patient. This innovative design is great for a scoliosis brace under clothes. Shape capturing technology (scans) and precise measurements of the patient are obtained to create a three dimensional CAD/CAM model. Systematic analysis of the X-ray is performed to optimize the corrective forces (push/shift) creating an asymmetrical shape, while optimizing sagittal plane balance. The corrective forces are created in conjunction with open/void areas that allow for easier breathing mechanics.
