Unsurprisingly, brace discomfort is a significant deterrent against treatment adherence. For decades, custom braces for idiopathic scoliosis have been fabricated using one of three materials - copolymer, polypropylene, or polyethylene. The application of the biomechanical principles behind bracing have improved over the years, but the materials have not. The investigators' goal is to expand fabrication options by testing a 3D-printed scoliosis brace with variable flexibility. The aim is to improve patients' perceived brace comfort.\n\nAfter optimizing the brace design, the investigators will collect patient feedback about the design from currently braced participants.

A significant portion of these patients are not immediate candidates for surgical intervention. The acute shortage of viable non-operative management strategies, which is becoming increasingly imperative given the current barriers to physical therapy access and the growing opioid crisis. The investigator's research intends to explore the addition of a structured yoga protocol to standard of care. This research will thus explore the potential for improved relief and quality-of-life improvements for AIS patients not ready for surgery.\n\nSignificance: AIS is a pervasive condition which correlates with chronic and episodic lower back pain, diminished sleep quality, and depressive symptoms. This extensive comorbid association coupled with the financial pressure to patients and the healthcare system cannot be understated.\n\nNeeds Statement: There is a lack of sufficient non-operative management options for AIS. Many patients face limited access and require supplementary management strategies to address the patient's conditions effectively, creating a significant unmet need for non-pharmacological pain management interventions. This need is further highlighted in the context of the escalating opioid crisis, a leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults.\n\nHypothesis: The introduction of a structured yoga protocol can serve as a non-inferior or even superior alternative to traditional standard of care i management of AIS, addressing both the physical and psychosocial aspects intertwined with the condition.\n\nIMPACT: Change in Problem Significance: This research trial aims to enhance current standard of care for patients grappling with AIS. If the trial demonstrates superiority of yoga, it will delineate a paradigm shift in the current care standards for AIS patients, fostering a move towards a more cost-effective and holistic approach. Yoga could help alleviate the burdens on the healthcare system by reducing costs and enhancing accessibility for patients.\n\nImprovement in Pediatric Orthopedics Practice: By paving the way for non-pharmacological interventions, the trial aspires to mitigate the reliance on opioids for pain management in the pediatric demographic, therefore promoting overall well-being. This project not only seeks to develop alternative pain management strategies amidst a growing opioid epidemic but also champions the cause of improving the quality of life for the pediatric population battling chronic conditions like AIS. It echoes the urgent call to innovate and expand upon the current strategies in place, steering the medical community towards a future where integrative approaches are not the exception but the norm. Ultimately, this research aspires to guide the trajectory of pediatric orthopedics towards a healthcare system that is more inclusive, accessible, and holistically oriented, thereby enhancing the quality of life for pediatric patients grappling with conditions like AIS.\n\n2\\.
