Product Information:
The Cheneau / Rigo (Style) brace is based on the patient's X-rays, the observed spinal curve pattern determines the specific design of the pads and expansion spaces. The brace is fabricated custom to scan or cast and is custom fit for each individual patient. The Cheneau / Rigo (Style) brace is a 3D corrective orthosis able to provide excellent in-brace correction. Cheneau / Rigo functionality lies its innovative design principles and understanding of scoliosis biomechanics.
Unlike traditional braces, which generally aim to squeeze the spine into a more aligned position, the Rigo Cheneau brace applies three-dimensional corrective forces. This 3D approach acknowledges that scoliosis isn’t a simple side-to-side curve but a complex rotational deformity.
Here’s how the Rigo Cheneau brace works. Customized Design each brace is custom-made using a plaster mold or 3D scan of the patient’s torso, ensuring an exact fit to curve-specifications. The brace corrects the scoliotic curves by applying pressure at certain points (areas of body prominence) and freeing up space at others (areas of body hollow). This approach helps guide the spine toward a more natural alignment. Breathing Mechanics incorporates a concept known as “corrective breathing.” This refers to the use of the body’s natural respiratory movements to assist in spinal correction. By tackling the problem from multiple angles, the Cheneau / Rigo (Style) brace strives for more comprehensive management of scoliosis. X-rays are required.
