Chêneau Brace
Dr. Chêneau fabricated the original "Chêneau Brace" in 1979 and is commonly used for the treatment of scoliosis and thoracic hypokyphosis in some European countries, though not commonly in either North America or the United Kingdom. The brace corrects by a system of multipoint pressure zones and expansion chambers.
Image shows a Chêneau brace conceived for double idiopathic scoliosis right thoracic and left lumbar.
