Hi,
My daughter has had two previous Boston Braces that look exactly like the online photos from the Boston Brace co. Today she just got a new brace that was prescribed as a Boston that was made by a different orthotist. It looks a little different than I was expecting: it opens in front instead of the back. It also has no side cut-out on the high side, and when I asked the orthotist about this he told me it was somewhat like the Rosenberger brace, which I had barely heard of.
So now that my daughter is sleeping in it, I went online and looked up the Rosenberger brace, only to find that it was discredited by scientific research some years ago as ineffective. The photo of the Rosenberger I found online looks like what my daughter is sleeping in. So now I'm getting a little panicky! The orthotist left for a week's vacation this afternoon, and we don't see the ortho for the in-brace x-ray until next Thursday.
Any ideas out there?? Is this really a Boston brace?
