ORAL PRESENTATION Open Access
Quality of life and idiopathic scoliosis treated
by brace. Transversal study
J Deceuninck*, JC Bernard
From 7th International Conference on Conservative Management of Spinal Deformities
Montreal, Canada. 20-22 May 2010
Objectives
Determine the influence of orthopeadic treatment on
the quality of life (QoL) of childs and adolescents with
idiopathic scoliosis and treated by carbon brace or Lyon
brace. Compare these brace.
Material and method
Transversal study includes 120 subjects affected by idio-
pathic scoliosis, who visited for routine evaluation of
orthotic treatment at the Centre des Massues in Lyon.
82 subjects used the carbon brace and 38 subjects used
the Lyon brace. Patients completed the SRS-22, a speci-
fic instrument that measures quality of life in spinal
deformity and visual analogue scales (VAS) for pain,
motive and QoL ranging from 0 to 100mm.
Results
The QoL of Lyon brace-treated is significantly worse
than the QoL of carbon brace-treated for the overall
score (mean +/- SD, 4.05 +/- 0.37 vs 3.77 +/- 0.46 with
p=0.002) as well as function (p=0.01), pain (p=0.001)
and appearance (p=0.004). These results are confirmed
by the VAS QoL (p=0.001).
Conclusion
The wearing of carbon brace and of Lyon brace involves
a reduction in the QoL whatever instruments of evalua-
tion, SRS-22 or VAS. The wearing of Lyon brace affects
the QoL more than the wearing of carbone brace.
