“…The cadence in the studies by Kaviani et al [37] and Karimi et al [38] did not significantly differ between the Milwaukee orthosis and no orthosis conditions. [37,38] Similarly, no cadence differences were reported between thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) and no orthosis conditions.…”

“…[15,[32][33][34][35] Mahaudens et al [30,36] reported the walking speed in km/h, which was not precise enough to be used for characterizing human gait. Kaviani et al [37] and Karimi et al [38] detected a significant decrease in the walking speeds of subjects with AIS (Milwaukee orthosis: 1.4 m/s) versus no orthosis conditions (1.32 m/s). Paolucci et al [39] reported a significant reduction in the walking speed between patients with Cheneau brace (0.57 ± 0.12 m/s) and patients without the brace (0.67 ± 0.13 m/s).…”

“…Furthermore, Kramers-de et al [33] demonstrated that the use of brace reduced the dynamic range of pelvic motion in the frontal plane in braced condition compared with unbraced condition. The results of the studies by Kaviani et al [37] and Karimi et al [38] showed that the transverse pelvic motion following the use of the orthosis was significantly reduced without any change in the lower limb motions when compared with those patients with no orthosis. [37,38] The use of orthosis improved the symmetry of motion of right and left sides in hip and pelvic.…”

Spinal orthoses may be considered for improving the walking style, although energy cost does not decline following the orthotic intervention. Implications for Rehabilitations Problems related to scoliosis include reduced quality of life, disability, pain, postural alterations, sensory perturbations, standing instability and gait modifications. Wearing corrective spinal orthoses in AIS subjects produce a reduction in walking speed and cadence, increase in stride length and reduction of gait load asymmetry compared to without brace condition. Spinal orthoses do not decline excessive energy expenditure to walk versus without it.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effect of Boston brace on trunk muscles length as well as lower limbs and trunk range of motion in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Methods:Five patients with idiopathic scoliosis with C shape curve and mean (SD) age, height, and weight of respectively 12.61(1.16) years, 1.53(0.08) m, and 35.6(6.1) kg participated in this study. Spatiotemporal parameters, range of motion of lower limbs and trunk, and muscle fiber length of erector spinae, internal and external oblique are the variables of this study. Qualysis motion analysis system and Kistler force plate was used to obtain and record raw data. Also, we used QTM and OpenSIM software to extract data. Statistics analysis was done by SPSS ver. 22 at the significance of 0.05. Results:Based on the results, trunk range of motion in sagittal plane decreased significantly (P=0.02), while pelvis range of motion in frontal plane increased significantly (P=0.006) during walking with brace. The changes in erector spinae and external oblique muscle fibers length were small and not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion:Walking with brace decreases trunk range of motion in sagittal plane that can lead to change in erector spinae and external oblique muscles length. Thus, it is recommended that flexibility and rehabilitation of these muscles be considered. More studies are needed to assess these muscles weakness after a long time use of the brace.
