Spinal Bracing in Adults with Painful Degenerative Scoliosis: a Randomized Controlled Open Trial

A custom-molded lumbar-sacral orthosis made according to the Vésinet method associated with measures designed to enhance adherence based on goal-setting techniques (i.e. personalized advice, self-determination of the wearing time, hotline) techniques and monitoring of adherence using a temperature sensor chip to provide feedbacks to participants on the wearing time at follow-up visits, and usual care (i.e. a standardized prescription of 20 outpatient physiotherapy sessions including active self-correction, spinal muscle strengthening, spine and lower limb stretching and learning of home-based exercises).

Usual care consisting in a standardized prescription of 20 outpatient physiotherapy sessions including active self-correction, spinal muscle strengthening, spine and lower limb stretching and learning of home-based exercises
