SCOLIOSIS CORRECTION BRACING SINCE 1970
TILL THE PRESENT. SOME RESULTS.
J. CHENEAU
In the early 60th, I was manufacturing several plaster casts according to Abbott. Then
Itried to reproduce Abbott's casts with a more solid material, polyester reinforced with
glass wool.The first results were excellent,but polyester caused problems,Professor Matthiass
from west Germany replaced it by polyethylene. He gave the brace my name, although
his participation had played a big role in the development of the system.
At our times, several changes have occurred due to simultaneous demand of patients
and Technicians; to the new knowledge developed during those 40 years, and to the facts
which already were known, but not yet taken in account. The brace 2002 has still more
neared Abbott's casts but there are no more shoulder parts and clavicular parts (6). We
recently could get rid of one side of the pelvic girdle (4). Movements are wider and easier.
Several problems gained solution. But manufacturing as well as adjusting and later maintaining
brace are most difficult actions. Only informatics can give hope of a proper bracing
by the main scoliosis teams.
Key words: scoliosis, expansion rooms, Cheneau brace
