N2 - Over the last years, evidence has accumulated in support of bracing as an effective treatment option in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the association between compliance to brace treatment and the progression of scoliotic curve in patients with idiopathic adolescent (AIS) or juvenile scoliosis (JIS).
