The biomechanical performance of the night-time Providence brace: experimental and finite element investigations

The main goal of this study was to investigate the performance of a night-time Providence brace, which alters stress distribution in the growth plates and ultimately result in a reduced Cobb angle, from a biomechanical standpoint, using experimental and in-silico tools. A patient with a mild scolios...
