Description
Join the SRS Non-Operative Committee and the Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) for a webinar analyzing the current evidence and practice guidelines for bracing for adolescent and adult patients with spinal deformity.
This webinar will provide a systematic analysis of the current evidence and best practice guidelines for bracing management of patients with spinal deformity in both adolescents and adults. With variations in brace design and documentation of long-term benefits, use the consensus discussed to clarify your current practice and brace selections. There will be an update on the current training of Orthotists, including specialization, fabrication, fitting and deformity correction.
Target Audience:
Spine surgeons (orthopaedic and neurological surgeons), residents, fellows, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, orthotists.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the new 3-D braces from Europe and the US and contrast differences and similarities.
- Better understand fabrication, fitting and in-brace scoliosis correction from the standpoint of the Orthotist.
- Identify best practice guidelines for brace treatment of Idiopathic scoliosis in Adults and Adolescents.
