Kyphosis

john burger

I would like to know if the in brace correction of a kyphotic curve is the

same as that for scoliosis? That is, 50% correction? Also, can a 55 degree

curve be effectively managed with the apex at T9 with a low profile brace,

having the second pressure point at T9 and the counter forces at the

abdomin and 1.5cm below the sternal notch?

Finally, is the weaning process from the orthosis basically the same for

scoliosis? Thank you in advance for your responses. I will post them after

I receive all the responses.
