No results posted yet for this study

Summary

While studies have shown that better outcomes are associated with brace wear compliance in the scoliosis and clubfoot populations, compliance rates are still poor. Reasons identified by patients, parents and research for not complying with prescribed brace wear include the inconvenience or irritability of the child when in the brace in the case of clubfeet, and fear of looking different from peers, clothes not fitting properly, or discomfort in the case of scoliosis. While reasons for noncompliance are many and can be complex, there has been some research to indicate that personality traits may play a role in brace wear compliance.

The primary purpose of the proposed study is to determine if personality traits are related to compliance patterns for individuals undergoing brace treatment for AIS or Clubfeet.
