The Boston brace, a type of thoraco-lumbo-sacral-orthosis (TLSO),^[1] is a back brace used primarily for the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in children.^[2] It was developed in 1972 by John Hall and William Miller at the Boston Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.^[2]

Information

Since it lacks the metal superstructure of the Milwaukee brace, which was the most commonly worn brace until the development of the Boston brace,^[3] the brace is typically not noticeable under clothing. The Boston brace is prescribed for correcting curves in the lumbar or thoraco-lumbar part of the spine.^[4] It is designed to keep the lumbar area of the body in a flexed position by pushing the abdomen in and flattening the posterior lumbar contour.^[4] Pads are placed at the apex of the curves to provide pressure, and areas of relief from pressure are positioned opposite the curves.^[4]

The brace is normally used with growing adolescents to hold a 20° to 45° advancing curve.^[1]^[5] The brace is made of high density polypropylene lined with polyethylene foam^[5] that is customized to the individual patient, and it opens in the back via a series of Velcro straps.

Daily use of the brace ranges from 16–23 hours a day.^[6] The brace is intended to minimize the progression to an acceptable level, not to correct the curvature.^[7] If the curvature continues despite the brace, then the wearer may have to undergo spinal fusion surgery.

History

M.E. "Bill" Miller patented the Boston brace in 1975.^[8]
