5. Movements. Figure 10.
Concave sides muscles are shorter,
then more effective. The lever
arm is more propitious to worsening
than to bettering scoliosis.The
brace restores balance with more
symmetrical muscles and better
lever arm.
6. Reducing greater diameter of
thorax. Figure 11.
Taking in clamp the greater diameter
of thorax aids to increase the
smaller one.The skin must be about
6 centimeters away from the brace
wall in an expansion room which
immediately is filled. Figure 11 is
a cross-section of a thorax (thick
line) and of a brace (thin line).
7. A secondary pressure pad acts
ahead. Figure 11 again.
After having been pushed right and
derotated, after the increase of the
smaller diameter, the right part of
thorax leans on the brace wall.
Although concave,it uses it as a secondary
pressure pad. So it contributes
to correction of the flat or
hollow back by every intake of air.
