Appareillage par corset cuir des postures camptocormiques : à propos de 31 cas

Results. - The average time to wear the othesis was 33 months. Sixty-eight percent of patients wore it at least 9 hours a day; 84% were able to put it on by themselves. The respiratory and cutaneous consequences were judged good and digestive and urinary tolerance adequate. With the orthesis, 74% of the patients responded positively to 5 of the 7 functional areas assessed. Why patients do not wear ortheses is often explained by the failure to obtain a satisfactory straight position and/or an ankle flexion, associated significant pathology, lack of motivation and difficulty in putting the orthesis on alone.
