The effectiveness of orthosis as a treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

The aim of this paper is to determine the capabilities of orthosis as a standalone intervention for patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). When comparing orthosis treatment conditions to the absence of intervention in both short-term and long-term cases, it was evident that there are benefits to the corrective forces applied by the brace that outweigh potential drawbacks. Thus, orthosis has been found to significantly decrease the Cobb angle, making it an effective tool for spinal correction.
