In Feb 2007 an X-ray was taken which presented a progression to about 60 degrees thoracic curve. The patient's mother found out about the Rigo System Cheneau (RSC) brace and the patient was therefore fit with a RSC brace by Dr Rigo in April 2007, at 8 years old.
In April 2008, a second RSC brace was fabricated and fit to the patient as present brace was too small. May 2008 in-brace X-ray demonstrated a 15 degree thoracic curve.
In July 2009 a third RSC brace was fabricated and fit, which presented with an in-brace x-ray of 14 degree Cobb. Patient is now 10 years old and has a very nice physiological and cosmetically pleasing trunk and pelvic shape. Patient started the Barcelona School of Scoliosis Rehabilitation in March 2009 at Scoliosis Rehab in WI. Photos were taken by Grant Wood at Scoliosis Rehab in WI during an annual Barcelona School of Scoliosis Rehabilitation training of physical therapy for scoliosis and patient follow-up appointment on November 12 2009.
