Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) affects three or four per thousandchildren and as many as seven out of ten older adults. While thereis still controversy about the efficacy of back braces for childrenthis is often considered a problem of compliance - if the childrendo not wear their braces the treatment does not work. New researchpublished in BioMed Central's open access journal Scoliosis demonstrates that a brace that contains a tiny heat sensor and isable to monitor how long it is worn, and that kids are also happyto wear, means that overall compliance with doctors recommendedprescription was over 90%. In many cases of childhood scoliosis, treatment is not requiredbecause the condition corrects itself as the child grows.
Howeverfor the remainder their scoliosis can be successfully treated usinga back brace, or in severe cases surgery, which prevents the spinefrom curving further. While a brace is worn under their clothes andshould not stop the child from joining in sports or any otheractivities nevertheless it can still be difficult to persuade achild that the brace must be worn for all the hours prescribed bytheir doctor. Researchers from ISICO in Milan investigated the use of aThermobrace which from measuring temperature changes in the braceis able to identify when it is being worn. The Thermobrace was usedin conjunction with the unit's normal care.
The families involvedin the study were all aware that the brace was monitoring its useand results showed that the more a brace was prescribed the more itwas worn. The doctors involved also discovered that use ofThermobrace led to an increased patient-physician relationshipbecause it allowed open discussions about real data. Dr Sabrina Donzelli, who led this research, explained, "It isdifficult to compare this study to others because all the familiesinvolved knew that the child was using a Thermobrace. Consequently,although there was some overestimation their self reported timesfor wearing the brace were very similar to the actual time measuredby the brace.
However we were able to demonstrate that children canbe persuaded to wear their back braces as long as they have enoughhelp and support." Additional References Citations.
