Interventions/Control_1

Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who are eligible for brace treatment will be randomly assigned to either a conventional underarm thoracolumbosacral orthosis or a Cheneau brace, which is widely used in Europe and North America, to compare the safety and efficacy of the two braces.

Interventions/Control_2

A button-shaped temperature sensor will be attached to each brace to objectively monitor brace compliance.

2. Outpatients diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
3. Patients who meet the indications for brace treatment, defined as a Risser grade of 4 or less, a Cobb angle of 25 degrees or greater (or 20 degrees or greater in premenarchal patients), and less than 2 years since menarche for postmenarchal patients.
