Patient-specific bracing
Scoliosis bracing belongs within a wider medical care pathway. Where bracing is clinically indicated, Wonderwalk focuses on the patient-specific brace, fitting and review while working alongside the treating professionals.
Scoliosis bracing is a process: measure, scan, fit, verify and review as the body grows.
When an assessment may help
Bring your X-ray
We request the relevant scoliosis X-ray and review the clinical information provided. The Cobb angle is measured and the wider clinical picture is considered before deciding whether bracing is appropriate.
If bracing is indicated
When a brace is needed, we carry out a 3D scan and plan the brace around the patient’s body shape, curve pattern and prescribed correction goals.
Fabrication
The brace is fabricated from the scan and clinical measurements, then prepared for fitting.
Fitting
At the fitting appointment we check contact, pressure areas, comfort and how the brace sits on the body. Padding or other adjustments are made when needed.
In-brace X-ray
An X-ray with the brace on may be requested to assess the correction achieved. If the result or fit shows that changes are needed, the brace can be adjusted accordingly.
Follow-up
Follow-up continues through growth. Around every six months, brace-on and brace-off X-rays may be compared when clinically requested, together with a fit review to check whether adjustment is needed.
Common questions
No. Bracing must be appropriate to the patient’s clinical situation. Relevant imaging, measurements and guidance from the treating professional are important.
Yes. Bring the most relevant and recent clinical information available, including imaging and the treating professional’s instructions.
No. Bracing is part of a wider care pathway and does not replace medical review, physiotherapy or other treatment recommended by the patient’s healthcare professionals.
Bracing may continue through adolescence and sometimes beyond age 16, depending on remaining growth, skeletal maturity, the curve and the treating team’s clinical plan.
Not sure whether this fits?
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Start with the RM300 five-stage movement assessment, or send us a short description before booking.
