Official Title: Retrospektive Analyse Der Konservativen Skoliosetherapie - Doppelkorsettversorgung Mittels Tag- Und Nachtorthese Versus Ganztagesorthese

Brief Summary: Bracing is an accepted standard therapy for idiopathic scoliosis at Cobb angle ranges between 25� and 45�. However, it is unclear, if a specifically tailored regimen of daytime and nighttime braces (=double brace) yields superior results compared to the standard treatment (single brace for day and night). These two treatment regimens were investigated in the study.
