The
SpineCor System is currently used in 17 countries and over 100 treatment
centres around the world. It has been offered as a bracing
option
in
the
KK Women's
and Children's Hospital (Singapore) since Jan
2009.
Nearly 725 patients were in-treatment world wide at the time of the
last result update in April 2002. The latest available visit for
these
patients,
including all sizes and levels of curves, is presented in Figure
1, which demonstrates an improvement or stabilisation for 89% of
the patients in treatment.
(Note: A change in the Cobb angle at the end of treatment and/or
the last available visit in reference to the initial visit was utilized
to identify a correction (decrease of more than 5° in Cobb angle),
a stabilization (change of ±5°), or aggravation (increase
of more than 5°).
