	Bracing Treatment for Idiopathic Scoliosis
		Bracing does not typically reduce the degree of the curve/amount of angulation already present.
		Since bracing only works to stop the progression of the curvature in a growing child, it is not used for those children who are already skeletally mature or almost mature.
		Brace treatment is usually used in girls up to one year after menarche, the onset of the female menstrual cycle.

	Roof Truss Bracing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Temporary bracing is used during the erection of roof trusses to prevent the trusses from bucking and falling over during the erection process.
		This bracing is the responsibility of the builder and the builder should consult the literature described in the code, and available from the truss industry, on the proper use of temporary bracing during the erection of trusses.
		This is accomplished by fastening the ends of the lateral bracing to an appropriate point of the building structure, or by adding additional diagonal bracing at the ends, and intermediate intervals, to brace the lateral bracing.

	Taylor Guitars \| Bracing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Bracing exists to perform two seemingly contradictory functions: it must strengthen the top and back of the guitar to prevent warpage or distortion, while leaving them flexible enough to vibrate and generate tone.
		Our 12-strings are made with non-scalloped bracing because they need the extra bracing material to handle the increased tension of twice the number of strings, and to prevent the top from being overdriven.
		Bracing is a potentially complex subject that involves the laws of physics and mass and sound.

	Bracing the Weekend By Vicki Gerson
		Bracing is used after surgery to protect the area while the patient works on range of motion and regains strength through physical therapy activities.
		After surgery the patient is placed in the same brace and, in time, moved to a more functional brace that he or she will continue to wear for the first year during physical activities.
		Brace prices may vary according to what part of the country the orthotist’s practice is. For example, Favors says that an off-the-shelf ankle brace that laces may be $60 to $70, while a custom one is priced at $300 to $400.

	Bracing and reciprocation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Bracing on teeth may be achieved by means of rigid portions of clasp arms (1) or plates (2).
		Bracing on the ridges and in the palate is obtained by means of major connectors and flanges (3).
		The bracing element which is in contact with the side of the tooth opposite the retentive clasp can also play an important role in the effectiveness of the latter, and thus in the overall retention of the denture.

	Music Folk Feature: Guitar Bracing
		Guitar bracing performs two wildly different functions: strengthen the top of the guitar while allowing it to sufficiently vibrate to produce a warm and resonant tone.
		Bracing plays a major role in determining the tone of a guitar as well.
		That is, wood was selectively removed from certain areas of the braces to weaken the top enough to allow it to vibrate freely without weakening it so much as to make it structurally unsound.

	Conclusion to bracing treatment for scoliosis
		The objective of bracing treatment is to prevent the curve from progressing as the child grows, and studies have shown bracing is effective in stopping the progression of the majority of adolescent scoliotic curves.
		There are a number of bracing options, and the physician will recommend a particular back brace and bracing schedule based on factors such as the location of the child’s curve and degree of curvature.
		However, even if surgery eventually becomes necessary, the back brace can still be beneficial by helping delay the progression of the curvature and allowing the child to grow more before having a spinal fusion (which stops the growth of the spine).

	Bracing for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
		Metal bars in the front and back of the brace extend the length of the torso and are attached to a from-fitting plastic pelvic girdle and to a throat mold or ring which encircles the neck- Straps attached to the metal bars hold pressure pads, which are precisely placed depending on the individual's curve pattern.
		The brace is worn until the physician has determined that skeletal maturity has been reached at which time the patient will be gradually weaned from the brace.
		While no one would suggest that adapting physically and psychologically to bracing is easy for children and teenagers, many studies show that after an initial adjustment period, youngsters who are braced live very normal lives, engaging in appropriate activities, including sports, and that they have good psychosocial adjustment no matter which brace they wear.

		Orthopaedic braces are used to prevent further spinal deformity in children with curve magnitudes within the range of 25 to 40 degrees.
		The brace extends from the neck to the pelvis and consists of a plastic pelvic girdle and a neck ring connected by metal bars in the front and the back of the brace.
		This brace is molded to conform to the patient's body while he or she is bent against the curve (towards the rounded-out portion of the curve).

	The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Bracing
		Prophylactic braces may help decrease injuries for certain players in certain positions in contact sports such as football, he says; however the use of prophylactic braces is controversial.
		Rehabilitation (nonplaying) knee braces are off-the-shelf devices used for conservative treatment of ligament tears and for postoperative care of meniscal repairs and other operative knee procedures (1).
		Ideally, the brace should not bind the joint, it should allow as much motion as desired by the physician, and it should not rub up and down against the skin, he says.

	Bracing vs. Tape
		Prophylactic ankle braces are often thought of as superior to athletic tape due to the material it is made from, which offers more rigidity.
		demonstrated ankle braces were not as effective as freshly applied athletic tape in reducing the amount of inversion that occurred at the ankle.
		Recommendations for the proper use of ankle braces include the use of a relatively vigorous activity during the break-in period, and periodic adjustment of the lacing system.

	CS Part 2 Masonry Wall Bracing
		On masonry projects that require temporary bracing, the wall bracing system shall be determined before a masonry wall exceeds the maximum unsupported height limits specified in tables 2 to 5 of R 408.40204.
		The wall bracing system for a masonry wall shall be designed by a qualified person in accordance with acceptable engineering practices or as prescribed in this part and shall be capable of providing stability to the wall for a wind with a velocity of 35 miles per hour.
		When using this typical wall brace, the total wall bracing system shall be designed in accordance with the provisions of this rule and R 408.40206.

	Masonry Magazine: Wall Bracing
		Even in those cases where some nominal bracing is provided, it is often the case that they are inadequate and can overstress and fail under lateral loads.
		Therefore, it was agreed upon by the Council that the wall bracing in the Standard Practice be designed to resist a wind speed of 40 mph and evacuated at 35 mph.
		The Council for Masonry Wall bracing recognizes that it is impossible to prevent the collapse of a masonry wall during construction and that life safety is the primary concern.

	Bracing Failures
		But when downward forces cause sideways motion (as with roof thrust), or when the forces themselves are sideways, builders' instincts are not as well developed, and small but important structural component are sometimes left out.
		The problem is lack of bracing; there were no diagonals or plywood sheets in any of the walls.
		The reasons for the tilt are what you would expect: no diagonal or panel bracing; the builder mistakenly relying on the lap siding to keep the structure from racking.

	The Scoliosis Tree - Bracing
		Many doctors suggest bracing when the curvature is between 25 and 40 degrees and the patient is still growing.
		In the UK most specialists will use the Boston Brace and in the USA the Milwaukee Brace, although others are available, such as the Cheneau brace used alongside the Katharina Schroth method.
		If bracing is successful it will prevent the curvature from progressing, and therefore could decrease the chance of needing further treatment.
