I. scoliosis orthoses should be properly worn with the help of parents or physical therapists at the beginning of the wearing method.

 

1 It should be worn in a relatively tight cotton underwear, the side of the underwear should have no seams, and longer than the orthosis.

 

2 The patients open the orthosis slightly and wear side through .

Don't stretch the orthosis too far.Try to flaten the underwear in the orthosis, especially in the pad part. Underpants should be worn over orthoses.

In order to reduce the compression of the skin, appropriate skin massage;Keep your skin dry.

 

3. Close the buckle loosely, lie down if possible, and then pull the buckle tight.

Patients with lateral curvature >40° should always wear it lying down.

After the clasp, place your hands on your waist and press the orthosis down to extend your spine.

 

4 In order to look inconspicuous,one can wear a looser coat.

 

5. When eating, the orthosis can be properly loosened. It is best to eat less and more meals.

There are a lot of questions that people with scoliosis often ask, when should we stop using scoliosis orthoses, what is the sign of stopping use?

Today YOBAND will tell you about the cessation of scoliosis:

 

1.The growth rate of the body is significantly slower, less than 1 cm per year.

 

2. The scoliosis Angle is below 20°.

 

3. After 2 ~ 2.5 years of girls’ menarche.

 

4. The increase of lateral bending Angle is not obvious, less than 5° a year.

 

II. Time of wearing

 

1. Wear it for 23 hours a day.

This standard should be achieved gradually within 2 weeks of initial assembly. See the next section (Adaptive Exercises) for detailed adaptation steps.

 

2. In the case of better correction effect (such as complete correction of lateral bending), the daily wearing time can be reduced correspondingly, such as 2h every half year.

 

3. If the lateral curvature Angle is still more than 30° after the patient's physical development is over, continue to wear for 2-2.5 years after the development is stopped to consolidate the correction effect, and the maximum age can be 22 years old.

There are a few things you need to keep wearing

 

1, generally wear to the end of the patient's bone development.

After correction, the Cobb Angle was greater than 30°

 

2, should also continue to wear 1 to 2 years.

 

3. The X-ray was taken 2 hours after the orthosis was removed, and the lateral bending change was not more than 3°. The orthosis could be removed for 2 hours a day for 3 months, and then gradually removed for 4, 8 and 12 hours a day.

 

4, not during the day, but at night to use more than 1 year.

 

5. After the correction effect is stable, the time of physical therapy training and physical activities should be increased, and the intensity of muscle strength exercises should be increased.

Remove the orthoses for 2-3 hours a day, and take an X-ray after 3 months.

Adopt the method of gap wear.

Don't wear during the day, wear orthosis at night for six months to a year.

 

YOBAND remind you: assembly practice has proved that wearing orthoses adaptive practice is very important, for it not only directly affect patient acceptance of orthoses, and convenient for doctors and parents to monitor check corrective effects and the patient's physical condition, to modify, adjust orthoses, at the same time also can cooperate exercises means to implement step by step.
