Abstract
Spinal orthoses are commonly used among the scoliosis patients. Because of the great
individual variations between the different scoliosis patients, custom-molded methods are
the best way for manufacturing the scoliosis orthoses. Each custom-molded orthosis is
necessary to match the following requirements: (1) presenting right corrective derotating
force; (2) having comfortable fit, which may improve patients’ compliance. However, there
is not any spinal orthosis through many previous casting methods including sitting casting
frame or traction casting machine, because most of them are dependent on the skillful
techniques of the orthotists. So the purpose of our research is to develop a new casting
design, of which both the spinal traction and air-compression design are used. It is seemed
to be less dependent on handy orthotists, but more objective. Through this new casting
method, the scoliotic spinal orthosis will get more even pressure distribution and fit better
than before.Using this new casting method,spinal orthoses were made for five scoliosis
patients. After using those new spinal orthoses for six months, followed-up X-ray revealed
imporved Cobb’s angle except one patient. Besides, all of them felt fit and comfortable
subjectively. Conclusively this new casting method for scoliotic spinal orthosis is valuable.
