Follow up visits will be very similar to the initial
visit. We will perform postural and clinical exams in
and out of the brace to assess the improvement in posture, curve angle
with the scoliometer and on about every other visit a full
spine x-ray following brace adjustment. What we should
see in these follow ups is the scoliosis is
stabilizing in severe cases and correcting in moderate
cases. Correction is
a step-by-step slow process, but in the long run this is what
provides for the maintenance of the correction out of the
brace.
