The document discusses various orthotic devices created by Boston Orthotics to treat orthopedic conditions, including scoliosis. It describes the Boston Brace, which was designed in the 1970s and has been the gold standard non-surgical treatment for scoliosis. It also discusses the Boston Brace Night Shift, Boston Brace RC, and Boston Kyphosis Brace which are custom orthotic devices to treat different types of spinal curves and kyphosis. The Boston Brace Baby is also mentioned as an innovative brace to treat infantile idiopathic scoliosis in all three spinal planes.

Introduction to Boston Orthosis and Their Innovative
Solutions:.
Boston Orthotics is a company that specializes in creating
custom orthotic devices to help with various orthopedic
and musculoskeletal conditions. Here are a few article
topics you might consider
Boston Orthotics & Prosthetics is the leading provider of
products and care for the treatment of scoliosis and other
spinal conditions. Almost 50 years ago our founder, Bill
Miller, designed and patented a revolutionary
thermoplastic bracing system for the non-operative
treatment of scoliosis. The Boston Brace, a custom-made
scoliosis back brace, has been the gold standard for non-
surgical alternatives ever since

3. Boston Brace Night Shift
A nighttime brace takes advantage of the
recumbent position. Some studies suggest
that most growth occurs at night. For some
curves, nighttime wear has shown to be as
effective as full-time. Boston Brace Night
Shift has built-in correction in all three
planes of motion. Since gravity is not
working against us, the internal pushes do
not have to work so hard. It applies direct,
opposing forces to straighten curves.

4. Boston Brace RC (Rigo-Cheneau)
Scoliosis Brace
The Boston Brace RC is an asymmetrical,
anterior opening, custom fabricated
scoliosis orthosis. This is a custom made
brace from a scan of the patient and
incorporates the principles of the Rigo-
Cheneau brace.

5. Spinal Curve treatment
: The Boston Brace RC
provides a systematic approach with the
specific design of the orthosis guided by
a classification system. This
classification includes clinical and X-ray
criteria.
The clinical criteria are used to describe
four basic spinal curve types: Type A –
imbalanced thoracic; Type B – true
double curve; Type C – balances thoracic
and false double; and Type E – single

6. Addressing Pediatric Orthopedic Conditions
with Boston Orthosis:
The Boston Brace Baby is the next innovation in the
non-operative treatment of infantile idiopathic
scoliosis Infantile idiopathic scoliosis is a three-
dimensional abnormality, and the Boston Brace Baby
orthosis works to correct the spine in all three planes—
coronal, sagittal and transverse. The custom-fabricated
Boston Brace Baby features an improved brace design with a
unique shift/push combination of forces that move the spine
into a corrected position. Additional space is provided for
rotational correction and breathing mechanics.

8. Boston Kyphosis Brace
The human spine, when viewed from the side, has a natural inward sway at
the bottom and an outward sway at the top. These back-to-front curves are
considered normal and change during the course of normal human growth,
development and aging. The inward sway is referred to as lordosis, the
outward sway is termed kyphosis.
Kyphosis is defined as a deformity of the upper spine causing an
exaggerated (more than 50°) outward curve. Technically this condition is
known as hyper kyphosis, though it is commonly referred to as simply
kyphosis. Our Kyphosis brace corrects this condition.
Studies have shown there is a natural range of these front-to-back and
back-to-front curves. If either of these curves begin to fall out of the natural
range, orthotic management may be considered. The most common
condition is referred to as hyperkyphosis, meaning the upper outward sway
is larger than it should be.

9. Postural Kyphosis and Scheuermann’s
Kyphosis
In adolescents, the most common types of
hyperkyphosis are postural kyphosis and
Scheuermann’s kyphosis. Postural kyphosis is as it
sounds—caused by poor posture, maybe some
weakened muscles and the shoulders may be
rotated forward. In postural kyphosis, the bones of
the spine are typically not affected. Scheuermann’s
kyphosis, first described by a Danish radiologist, Dr.
Scheuermann, by contrast is defined by having
three consecutive bones of the spine wedged.
Scheuermann’s kyphosis is most common in boys
aged 8-13
