Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical EngineeringAbstract
Bracing is the most common treatment to stop the progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Finite element modeling could help improve brace design, but model validation is still a challenge. In this work, the clinical relevance of a predictive and subject-specific model for bracing was evaluated in forty-six AIS patients. The model reproduces brace action and the patient’s spinopelvic adjustments to keep balance. The model simulated 70% or more patients with geometrical parameters within a preselected tolerance level. Although the model simulation of the sagittal plane could be improved, the approach is promising for a realistic and predictive simulation of brace action.
