101 - Supports used in Scoliosis

*The above picture shows the MILWAUKEE brace, which is named after the city of Milwaukee where it was designed.

*It is most more acceptable than other braces.

*This is a body cast with a turn-buckle in between. The tightening of the turn-buckle stretches the concave side of the curve, thus correcting the deformity.


*Another type of cast called THE LOCALISER CAST is used for scoliosis. This is a body cast applied with the spine in traction. A special localiser table is required for this. I could not find a picture for this.
