Short Description
Aspen's unique Peak Scoliosis Bracing System is an unloader brace designed to enhance the quality of life for scoliosis patients.
The Aspen Peak Scoliosis Brace is designed to relieve discomfort, thus enhancing the quality of life for adult scoliosis patients. This patented, highly adjustable brace is designed to enhance posture, mobility and ultimately increase a patient’s ability to perform activities of daily living. The brace offers multiple configuration options to accommodate unique patient needs. This Active Influence system uses a combination of compression and support to promote better alignment, improve posture and restore a more natural center of gravity. The Aspen Peak Scoliosis bracing system is available in either a one-size adjustable or a sized version.
How Does It Work?
The Peak Scoliosis Brace acts as an unloader brace for the spine. Force is applied to the patient by the thoracic and trochanter pads on one side and by the belt on the other side. The applied forces work together to promote a better relationship and reduce body lean. To enhance the ability to optimize the angle from which tension is applied, the posterior tension strap can be placed anywhere along the attachment strips based on patient needs. The enhanced pulley system reduces friction making it easy to control the level of compression regardless of patient's strength. The universal strut assembly can be adjusted or modified to accommodate patient's unique needs, then placed anywhere on the belt to optimize support.

Is The Peak Scoliosis The Right Brace For Me?
The Peak Scoliosis Bracing System is specifically designed to help patients suffering from chronic postural conditions. These innovative braces provide postural support with the goal of reducing symptoms [1] caused by an unbalanced body position. Aspen Active Influence braces also work to encourage symmetrical spinal loading, prompting a more natural center of gravity and a restoration of normal proprioception.
