ABSTRACT
Bracing is the most common treatment to stop the progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Finite element modeling could help improve brace design, but model validation is still a challenge. In this work, the clinical relevance of a predictive and subject-specific model for bracing was evaluated in forty-six AIS patients. The model reproduces brace action and the patient's spinopelvic adjustments to keep balance. The model simulated 70% or more patients with geometrical parameters within a preselected tolerance level. Although the model simulation of the sagittal plane could be improved, the approach is promising for a realistic and predictive simulation of brace action.
