title: The L.A. Brace-Description and discussion.
abstract: The L.A. Brace represents a new asymmetrical computer-generated full-time scoliosis brace used in the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis that uses the new system of algorithm-generated predictions for its data acquisition phase. Initial results suggest the L.A. Brace is an effective alternative brace treatment for scoliosis that provides an accurate cost-effective data acquisition system.
