The Boston Thoracic Brace, i.e. a Boston Brace without superstructures, has been used for treatment of scoliosis in 57 patients with 91 major curves measuring 31.8 +/- 6.5 degrees, the apex of the scolioses varying from D 7 to L 3. There was a mean correction of 12.9 +/- 6.4 degrees (41 per cent), which was superior to that of the Milwaukee Brace also in the thoracic scolioses (mean correction 3.6 +/- 5.8 degrees) (10 per cent).
波士顿胸段支具，即无上部结构的波士顿支具，已用于治疗57例脊柱侧弯患者，这些患者有91个主要弯曲，弯曲度数为31.8±6.5度，脊柱侧弯的顶点范围从胸7至腰3。平均矫正度数为12.9±6.4度（41%），这在胸段脊柱侧弯方面也优于密尔沃基支具（平均矫正度数3.6±5.8度）（10%）。
