Neuromuscular Scoliosis
-
Neuromuscular scoliosis is a condition affecting children with neuromuscular disorders, characterized by abnormal spinal curvature that can lead to challenges in balance and coordination. With such varied underlying conditions causing neuromuscular scoliosis, treatment approaches must be tailored to each individual's unique needs.
Our team recognizes the importance of personalized care and offers various treatment options to address neuromuscular scoliosis effectively. For some patients, bracing can provide significant support and stability. At Comprehensive Prosthetics and Orthotics, we understand the challenges posed by this condition and offer tailored solutions to improve quality of life.

Neuromuscular Scoliosis Treatment Options
Treatment options for neuromuscular scoliosis vary based on individual needs. While traditional bracing may not correct the curvature, innovative approaches like suspension bracing can offer significant support. Neuromuscular Scoliosis treatment includes:
Suspension Trunk Orthosis (STO)
Prescribed for neuromuscular scoliosis, Suspension Trunk Orthosis (STO) provides relief by directly supporting the upper body against the seat, reducing abdominal pressure, and stabilizing the shoulders. This improves posture, breathing, and arm mobility, enhancing overall comfort and function.
Boston Brace
Crafted from custom-modeled plastic components, the Boston Brace offers a low-profile design tailored to the patient's unique body shape. The Boston Brace promotes spinal alignment by extending from the lower breast to the pelvic area on the front side and from the upper back to the tailbone on the back side. By exerting pressure on the lower back, the brace encourages abdominal compression, ultimately aiding in the reduction of spinal curvature.
