| For example, because gravity will continue to bend a lateral spinal curvature, a maintenance orthosis designed to maintain a fixed position will cause increasing pain and tissue irritation as time goes by, and will soon require replacement. These results are similar to the findings by Burwell et al who used a "formulator body-contour tracer" to measure trunk asymmetry on 34 children with clinical evidence of lateral spinal curvature. |
