What types of brace used for thoratic curves in children

[RoundTheTwist]

Does anyone know please?

I have a 9yr old girl with a curve in the high thoratic region and no concrete diagnosis as yet, but I want to know what sort of braces are used for this type of curve.

Also has anyone heard of the Lyon brace?

Check out spinecor, I think Dr Rivard once said that it is one of the only braces that can address the high curves

My 9 year old daughter also has a high thorasic curve (left). She was x-rayed 2 weeks ago and it has progressed from 20 to 28 degrees in 6 months. She will be getting a TLSO brace on Friday, Feb. 2nd.

My daughter was prescribed a Milwaukee brace.

Lorena was also in a Milwaukee brace ~ her right curve was T1-T6 and her left T6-T12 her brace only addressed her lower curve. It's much more difficult to brace the higher curves.
