Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, before developing the implant device for spinal scoliosis, we develop a corset to correct the scoliosis from the outside.
Conventional corsets were cramped for patients and unsuitable for long-term use. Therefore, it is not suitable as an orthosis.
Therefore, in this project, we develop an appliance that can be easily corrected by using smart device (artificial muscle).
