Clinical Trial Summary

Scoliosis is a progressive three-dimensional deformation of the spine during growth, with a prevalence of 80% in girls.

The treatments currently used are surgery and rigid brace, which aim to stabilize scoliosis evolution. The place of rehabilitation is disputed because the methods are multiple, non-standardized and the sessions are infrequent.

In a previous study (MOUVSCO, NTC02134704), researchers have identified systematic postural abnormalities in patients with scoliosis, and developped a virtual-brace (medical device, MD) to allow real-time self-correction of the trunk position.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate for the first time the efficacy of the virtual-brace on the correction of the posture of scoliotic patients.

The hypothesis is that intensified rehabilitation with the virtual-brace will improve pathological postures related to scoliosis.


Clinical Trial Description

The present study is the first evaluation of the efficacy of the virtual-brace on scoliotic patients.

The efficacy of rehabilitation will be estimate on the correction of the posture of scoliosis patients over 6 months by comparing 2 groups: a control group of patients conventionally treated with a night-time brace (G0 group_conventional) and an experimental group of patients wearing a night-time brace, doing postural rehabilitation exercises with the virtual brace and follow-up visits with a physiotherapist (G1 group_virtual-brace). ;
