Clinical Trial Summary

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity usually associated with intervertebral rotation that takes place during adolescence. Generally, bracing treatment is a common option for scoliosis patients. Non-surgical treatment for scoliosis patients is to offer a conservative solution to treat their condition and encourage a higher degree of compliance by avoiding interference with their daily life activities. Therefore, intelligent nighttime braces have been developed to solve this issue, which are intended to be worn for inhibiting the advancement of spinal deformity during sleeping hours. However, its efficacy is still controversial. Intelligent nighttime brace with a specialized design for teenagers with scoliosis is limited and most part of them are lack of mobility and lack of control over corrective forces on particular regions of the vertebra. A scientific approach should be used to design and develop intelligent nighttime brace as a treatment option for adolescents with early scoliosis.


Clinical Trial Description

The design of intelligent nighttime brace with smart padding for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will incorporate different mechanisms, such as 1. compression and pulling forces through a customizable rigid brace 2. lumbar flexion by using a supporting air-belt. 3. three-point pressure system is used to exert corrective forces by the intelligent paddings in the transverse direction 4. adjust the pressure of the brace padding through a pressure monitoring system in accordance with the sleeping posture of the users ;
