Critically appraised paper: In adolescents with moderate-grade idiopathic scoliosis, nighttime bracing with self-mediated physical activity prevented Cobb angle progression [synopsis].

The article explores how nighttime bracing combined with self-mediated physical activity can effectively prevent the progression of the Cobb angle in adolescents with moderate-grade idiopathic scoliosis. Topics discussed include the mechanisms of nighttime bracing in scoliosis management, the role of self-directed physical activities in supporting spinal health, and the overall outcomes in slowing disease progression with this combined approach.
