Bracing Results for Boston Brace 3D®
We are Seeing Outstanding Curve Correction with the Boston Brace 3D®
Patient outcomes are very important to us at Boston Orthotics & Prosthetics. Our bracing outcomes are determined by comparing an X-ray before bracing with an in-brace X-ray, followed by an out-of-brace X-ray usually after the bracing treatment is complete. Most patients achieve greater than 60% correction of the primary curve when wearing the Boston Brace 3D® according to the prescribed wear schedule. You'll note that on more complex curves it is less likely to meet the goals, while lesser Cobb Values it's easier.
