Sensorized Orthosis for Non-Operative Treatment of $Pectus~Carinatum$ in Pediatric Patients

This paper describes a sensorized orthosis used to objectively monitor the follow-up of pediatric patients affected by Pectus Carinatum and treated through compression therapy. The study reports an analysis made on 25 patients. The pressure exerted by the compression brace was monitored by means of a high-density sensing matrix at every outpatient check, over 150 days. The pressure maps derived fr...
