Your saying that yours was called a Dynamic Scoliosis Correction Brace, got my curiosity - and i did come across an article from 2006 in the American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists (written by an orthotist from the UK). In this article the orthotist refers to Spinecor as being a Dynamic Corrective Bracing system. Paragraph Two:
Flexible Dynamic Corrective Bracing (SpineCor®1) is principally prescribed for Idiopathic Scoliosis patients with a Cobb angle between 15° and 50° and Risser sign 0 to 2. The brace is fitted on the patient in accordance to a sub-classification of the traditional SRS2 definition of curve types. The brace is prescribed to be worn by the patients 20 hours per day until they have reached maturity, with radiological evaluations performed prior to and immediately following the fitting of the brace, and every 4 to 6 months thereafter.
Kind of reads as if at that time, in the UK at least, that this is how the brace was referred to. Terminology can change throughout the years - the field of Information Technology (IT) is a good example of that (many terms changing throughout the years) . Were you fitted around that time frame?
Anyway - a very interesting article:
