title = "Preliminary Wear Trial of Posture Training Bracewear for Older Adults with Degenerative Scoliosis (ADS)",
abstract = "Bracing treatment is the most commonly recommended treatment for patients with adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) to stabilize the movement of their spine and provide support to the lumbar area. This paper reports a case study of a 55-year-old female patient with ADS who participated in a wear trial with a posture training bracewear. After donning the brace for 2 h, an in-brace x-ray is taken to compare the immediate effects of bracing to determine the pre and post treatment results. Aside from radiographic imaging, the anterior and posterior trunk symmetries are measured on three-dimensional images of the subject taken pre and post treatment and compared, which show that the posture training bracewear can provide immediate reduction of the spinal curvature. Apart from the reduction in spinal curvature, the patient also shows a more symmetric trunk after wearing the brace for 2 h.",
