Scoliosis Brace

C, Using Notes of Scoliosis Brace

MEDI-REHATEK Scoliosis brace is designed based on human anatomy, biomechanics, kinesiology, combined with the patient's condition, according to the requirements of doctor's treatment. Whether treatment effect is good or bad that closely related with the accuracy of force point, the magnitude of the pressure, proper way of use by patients, as well as the active cooperation of parents. Therefore,I'm asking parents to closely cooperate with treatment, push their children to adhere to wearing and exercise, and note the following:

1, The prescribing doctor has to examine whether the orthotic meet the therapeutic requirements after wearing initially.If it meets the requirements, the patient should be reviewed once a month during the first three months. If pressure is not enough, it should be adjusted timely. If abnormal changes of spine presents during wearing, patient should go to hospital to identify the cause in time. Then it needs periodically reviewing once every 3-6 months.

2, Orthosis should be adjusted or replaced every six months to a year according to the speed of human growth and development, or it fails to meet treatment requirements.

3, It will take a long course of treatment as it is corrected by external fixation.So patient should insist on long-term wearing,usually the wearing time should 22 hours a day. The remaining time is to deal with personal hygiene, do training exercises.

4,Main pressure pad of orthosis should maintain sufficient pressure while the patient can take the initiative to correct by "off-pad" action (to let the body leave away from the pressure pad) .

5, Orthosis can be taken off after the full development of bone. Gradually patient should reduce the wearing time according to the doctor’s requirements every day before stop wearing, then transition to take off orthosis. It will come to naught if taking-off time is inappropriate time.

6,If the patients feel too loose too tight during wearing, should be adjusted by themselves under doctor's orders,can have telephone consultation. If there is severe discomfort presenting (such as excessive pressure, redness, swelling, etc.),they can always come to our center to be inspected.
