Skeletal Maturity, Brace Compliance, and In-Brace Correction Rate Are Important Factors Associated with Cobb Angle Progression after Brace Treatment in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Under objective bracing time monitoring, skeletal maturity, ICR, and bracing time were crucial factors in preventing curve progression 1 year after brace initiation in patients with Cobb angles of 20°-40°. An ICR of 38.3% is recommended as the target when bracing adjustments are feasible.
