Report Showcases Providence Scoliosis Nighttime Bracing System

West Yarmouth, MA (January 16, 2002) - A recent study suggests that the Providence Scoliosis System can provide excellent initial in-brace correction and can be effective in preventing the progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

The study, which appeared in the September 2001 issue of Spine, included 102 female patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. According to the results, with the Providence brace, "63% of thoracic curves and 65% of double curves were successful. Ninety-four percent of lumbar curves and 93% of thoracolumbar curves were successful."
