Die größte deutschsprachige Online-Selbsthilfegruppe von und für Patienten mit Wirbelsäulendeformitäten wie Skoliose, Morbus Scheuermann und Kyphose (Hyperkyphose). Hier können sich Patienten informieren und Erfahrungen austauschen.
Hab jetzt mal ne Seite gefunden, die Adult Bracing (Erwachsenen-Korsettversorgung) in den USA tatsächlich auch anbietet, wenn auch nur unter 'ferner liefen'.
Auch Schroth ist auf der Seite mehrmals explizit erwähnt.
Unter Anderem steht da:
Adult L.A. Bracing System
Adult’s with scoliosis have more stiffness and less “plasticity” and hence have greater issues with tolerance of the standard LA Brace forces. We have developed a 2-brace system specifically for the adult scoliosis population that works in conjunction with Schroth therapy as a unique program for the adult scoliosis patient.

PS: Ist es Euch heute auch so heiß unterm Korsett oder geht das nur mir so?
For patients with severe pain, and evidence of instability the addition of a back brace may be very helpful. Bracing may help reduce motion across the spine and provide the sensation of increased support. Bracing does not eliminate the need for physical therapy, and exercises can often be performed while wearing the brace.
Practical tips on living with a brace
If your physician has recommended a brace you must understand that this is not an easy treatment method and does not replace the need for other treatments such as physical therapy. It is essential that you have a customized brace made which will fit your body shape. Everyone has a unique body shape, and particularly a patient with scoliosis will have a shape that requires detailed attention in the making of a brace.
There are many types of braces and your physician will determine which is most suitable for you. Initially, any brace will seem awkward to wear and may even be quite uncomfortable. To give bracing a fair chance be patient and get used to wearing your brace in a gradual manner. It may be a good idea to start wearing the brace for only an hour at a time and then increasing this daily until after a week or so you can tolerate the brace for most of the day. During bathing and while in bed the brace can usually be removed, your physician will guide you in specific instructions.
Ist das amerikanischer Standard?
