Align Clinic for Woods Cheneau Rigo Bracing

Dates in Pittsburgh: January 24th and January 25th, 2017

Contact Pediatric Coordinator Heather @ 412 599 1117 for appointment and location information.

http://www.align-clinic.com/wcr-scoliosis-brace.html

The Wood Cheneau Rigo (WCR) brace is a thermoplastic brace designed to treat scoliosis conservatively while taking into consideration that scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity.

What you get with the WCR Brace.
The WCR brace involves a team of scoliosis professionals from around the world working on the patient’s classification of curve. The patient curve type is individually classified from the Classification of Rigo using the x-rays and clinical photos of each patient. Based on this classification, an individual brace design from the Classification of Rigo brace designs is selected for each patient. Dr. Manuel Rigo is personally consulted on WCR brace cases for verification of the patient’s curve type and scoliosis brace design when necessary. This is a multi-disciplinary approach using feedback from the patients prescribing MD and Schroth or Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS) physical therapist in combination with the orthotist’s skills. Subsequently, the measurements, x-rays, and clinical photos are used to design and fabricate a custom-made Wood Cheneau Rigo brace.

All stages of treatment (clinical photos in and out of brace, X-rays and team notes) are posted on a secure orthotic and prosthetic database (OPIE). We discuss the fittings, follow-up photos, and in-brace x-rays between the MD, Schroth Therapist (PT) and orthotist, which optimizes the treatment and results.

Today you will tighten the brace slightly past the first line on the strap.

Each subsequent day tighten the straps slightly past the point of the previous day.
This should allow you to tighten the brace to the second line on the strap or beyond it by your next appointment with the physician.

At the follow up x-ray in the brace, please make sure that the brace is pulled to the second line. If you are not up to the second line, please pull the brace to that line for the x-ray. If you are past the second line, do not loosen the strap to the second line for the x-ray. Take the x-ray with the strap where you are wearing it – as long as it is past the second line.

If the plastic is close to touching or touching in the back, please make an appointment with one of our offices to have that opening adjusted. But still take the x-ray at the tightest strap position.

When you get to bathe after surgery but need to keep your incision dry!

Cast/Post Surgical Covers : www.TDPproducts.net

These are put to use in many wound centers and postsurgical settings where any limb/wound needs to stay dry. It lets people continue to enjoy the luxury of a nice shower, but still prevents moisture getting to the incision and reducing infection risk. Ultimately, in the day and age of patient satisfaction, it provides a tangible item to make people more confident in their recovery.

Any amputee that is recovering from a surgery after the first few weeks typically needs to keep the incision dry.
