When it comes to managing and treating hyperkyphosis, choosing the right brace can make all the difference. People with hyperkyphosis or Scheuermann’s kyphosis often experience noticeable changes in posture and appearance, which can lead to self-consciousness. They may also suffer from pain or discomfort. Wearing a brace specifically designed for these conditions can significantly improve their quality of life and daily comfort.
The KyphoBrace is a custom brace to help treat patients with Scheuermann’s kyphosis, hyperkyphosis, thoracolumbar kyphosis & anterior sagittal balance. It provides a customized approach, tailored to meet the specific needs of individuals with these conditions. Let’s consider what sets the KyphoBrace apart, and how it gets the best possible fit possible.
The Importance of a Custom-Made Brace
Kyphosis, characterized by an excessive forward curvature of the spine, can lead to discomfort, pain, and reduced mobility. In many cases, a brace like the KyphoBrace, can be prescribed to help treat this curvature and provide support. However, for the brace to work towards the desired treatment goals, it must fit the patient well, and be custom made for their specific case.
Advanced 3D Scanning Technology
One of the key elements in ensuring the best possible fit for the KyphoBrace is the use of advanced 3D scanning technology. Using a portable, highly-accurate 3D scanner, in conjunction with an iPad and proprietary software app called BraceScan, each patient is scanned in 3D across 360 degrees in various postures. By creating a precise model, and combining it with digital X-rays, posture photos, and other important clinical information, the KyphoBrace can be customized to each individual patient. Combination of this information also means a better designed and better fitting brace.
See the video below for an overview of the advanced brace design and features of the KyphoBrace.
Tailored Adjustments
Every KyphoBrace is professionally fitted at the patient’s brace fitting consultation. Clinicians will discuss the treatment management plan and make any necessary modifications to the brace for comfort or correction. Regular reviews are scheduled to monitor progress and so that adjustments can be made, and the KyphoBrace continues to meet the desired outcomes.
The custom approach from scan to creation means not only is the individual brace’s design aligned with the patient’s treatment goals, it also fits the patient much better and is more comfortable and effective than it would be if selecting from a library of brace shapes.
The KyphoBrace is more than just a brace; it’s a tailored solution that leverages cutting-edge technology and expert care to ensure the best fit possible.
