I especially agree that there is obvious obfuscatory/obscurantist material in certain of the bracing literature papers. It is patent.
The bracing literature should follow the format:
a. what brace is being tested and what is the the wear protocol
b. description of test population and control population (or natural history)
c. how they measured/quantified compliance
d. the results sorted AT LEAST by curve type, chrono age, and any other factor that has been shown to affect progression
e. compare the results to the control population or known natural history
Nothing more, nothing less.
