Improved initial flat back in-brace and at 1 year follow-up. Nearly half of scoliosis have a flat back with thoracic kyphosis angulation of less than 30°. In ARTbrace, back flat improved significantly of more than 8° and this improvement was maintained at 1 year follow-up without brace. There is no significant difference between the in-brace angle of thoracic kyphosis and at 1 year follow-up without brace
