It's not just the big kids: both high and low BMI impact bracing success for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Journal of children's orthopaedics(2016)
Abstract
Based on our results, children on either end of the BMI spectrum are more likely to fail brace treatment for scoliosis than their mid-BMI counterparts. In high-BMI patients, this appears to be in large part attributable to an inadequacy of in-brace curve correction as well as to poorer brace compliance, while a low BMI appears to be an independent risk factor for brace failure.
