Examples of SEAS exercises to be performed during brace treatment. SEAS exercises during brace treatment. (A) Preparation to bracing. Exercises aimed at increasing range of motion of the spine on all planes, in order to allow the brace to exert the maximum possible correction. (B) Modeling exercises in brace. The patient is in a relaxed position The patient moves away from sternal upright to do a maximum thoracic kyphotization movement. (C) Muscular endurance strengthening exercises. We propose strengthening exercises, requiring lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis preservation, while frontal and cross-sectional plans correction is guaranteed by brace pushes. (D) Active Self-Correction (ASC) (autocorrection according to SEAS) during brace weaning.
