Individual patient results will vary depending on the patient's age, skeletal maturity, severity of scoliosis, previous scoliosis treatments, as well as other factors.

Proximal (Upper) structural thoracic curve with the apex at T5 was treated with WCR additional 3 point pressure brace which can be worn for night time , part time or full time use, depending on the risk of progression of each patients individual scoliosis.
|
a: Patient with a proximal thoracic curve of 21 degrees Cobb angle.
b: Patient imbalanced with the trunk to the left and pelvis to the right with a proximal thoracic curve of 21 degrees Cobb angle. c: Patient wearing a WCR additional 3 point pressure brace. d: In-brace clinical presentation of the WCR additional 3 point pressure brace which shows good, balanced, postural correction. |
e: In-brace x-ray of the WCR additional 3 point pressure brace which shows correction of the proximal thoracic curve and that the pressures are at the correct levels and locations for optimal brace function and comfort.
f: Out of brace correction of the proximal thoracic curve after 2 years of significant patient growth. This was while the patient was going through puberty which allowed a good clinical postural correction and a stable scoliosis for the use of the WCR additional 3 point pressure brace. |
