Figure 11

14-year old boy in his second Gensingen brace™ for the treatment of a double thoracic curvature. The initial angle of curvature at the start of treatment, when the boy was 12 years old, was 35° main thoracic with a significant high thoracic counter curve exceeding 30° as well. Now in his second Gensingen brace™, version 2010 for the treatment of a double thoracic curvature we have achieved a correction from 27° (intermediate result) to 12° in the main thoracic curvature, which is excellent considering the fact, that double thoracic curves cannot be corrected as easy as single thoracic curves. The foam pad location is marked on the in-brace x-ray with wire as is the longitudinal width of the thoracic pad.
