Figure 9

The patient presented in the case report in her Spinealite™ soft brace. Spinealite™ soft brace was adjusted leading to an overcorrection. The initial angle of curvature was 27° and in brace correction was −16°. The lumbar counter curve in frontal plane does not seem to be corrected much, however the axial load of this system when applied to the maximum correction obviously leads to an increased rotation. Therefore we would not allow the use of this system alone without hard brace and we will always propose regular clinical controls.
