Synopsis
Iliocostal impingement syndrome (ICS) is a common yet overlooked cause of pain and functional decline in older scoliosis patients. Static, compressive, bulky OTS bracing fails to address asymmetry, the mechanical leverage needed for postural shift, and may interfere with respiratory mechanics. The mign Adult Scoliosis Orthosis, a dynamic, phenotype-driven solution, facilitates midline correction, alleviates ICS pain, and restores function. These findings support digitally-designed bracing as a viable, patient-centered alternative for non-surgical adult scoliosis management.
