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.

Details
Purpose of the Device
- This brace is worn during sleep. It is molded to conform to the patient’s body while bending towards the convexity of the curve.
Indications
- There are several distinct advantages to the Providence Brace program, nearly all of which are related to the nightwear component:
- Allows full, unrestricted musculoskeletal development.
- Allows opportunity for athletic participation, if desired.
- Causes fewer and less severe complications.
- Delayed complications are negligible, since brace is worn less time than not.
- Results can be assessed without the customary long-term follow-up.
- Decision-making regarding success or failure of the program can be made earlier.
