The Boston Brace Baby is the next innovation in the non-operative treatment of infantile idiopathic scoliosis. The Boston Brace Baby orthosis is specifically designed to utilize many of the Mehta and Boston Brace 3D concepts for infantile idiopathic scoliosis treatment . 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 Baby Works
Infantile idiopathic scoliosis is a three-dimensional abnormality, and the Boston Brace Baby orthosis works to correct the spine in all three planes—coronal, sagittal and transverse. The custom-fabricated Boston Brace Baby 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 Baby is custom fabricated and designed for each individual patient. 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.
