摘要

The main goal of this study was to investigate the performance of a night-time Providence brace, which alters stress distribution in the growth plates and ultimately result in a reduced Cobb angle, from a biomechanical standpoint, using experimental and in-silico tools. A patient with a mild scoliosis (Cobb angle = 17) was chosen for this study. Applied forces from the Providence brace on the patient's rib cage and pelvis were measured using flexible force pads, and the measured forces were then imported to the generated FE model, and their effects on both curvature and stress distribution were observed. The measured mean forces applied by the brace were 29.4 N, 24.7 N, 22.4 N, and 37.6 N in the posterior pelvis, anterior pelvis, superior thorax, and inferior thorax, respectively, in the supine position. Results of the FE model showed that there is curvature overcorrection, and also Cobb angle was reduced from 17°, in the initial configuration, to 3.4° right after using the brace. The stress distribution, resulted from the FE model, in the patient's growth plate with the brace in the supine position, deviates from that of a scoliotic individual without the brace, and was in favor of reducing the Cobb angle. It was observed that by wearing the night time brace, unbalanced stress distribution on the lumbar vertebrae caused by the scoliotic spine's curvatures, can be somehow compensated. The method developed in this study can be employed to optimize existing scoliosis braces from the biomechanical standpoint.
