Active Soft Brace for Scoliotic Spine: A Finite Element Study to Evaluate in-Brace Correction

Scoliosis is a spinal disorder that is conventionally treated using rigid or soft braces. Computational methods such as finite element-based models are used to investigate the mechanics of the spine and the effect of braces. Most spinal braces are either passive, static, or rigid and do not allow mo...
