The<unk>  is among the treatments prescribed to slow or stop further curvature of the spine as scoliosis patients naturally age and grow. While in use, the<unk>  brings the spine closer to the midline or even further by applying both lateral and rotational pressure on the patient's body. The<unk>  applies pressure at three points on the body while the patient is in the supine position, which itself plays a significant part in correcting the coronal plane curvature of the spine. The<unk>  is worn for at least eight hours at night and during sleep as it significantly limits mobility while in use. The<unk>  is indicated for adolescent patients with curves of less 35°. A recent study indicates that the<unk>  is also effective for curvatures up to 45°. When used on appropriate patients,<unk>  has been shown to have a comparable efficacy as traditional scoliosis orthoses (such as the Boston<unk>  that require full-time use. Studies report that 50% to 75% of patients show further curve progression of only 5° or less, including when examined two years after stopping use of the<unk> . A 2019 study also reported that, if an in-brace correction of more than 70% is achieved, the<unk>  was successful in preventing curve progression in 89% of compliant patients.
