mskalign® 4DBrace
Clinical validation of AI-powered orthosis design for scoliosis corrections
The mskalign® 4D Brace is a next-generation spinal orthosis that combines AI-driven design and 3D printing technology to deliver personalized, precise treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. By optimizing fit and biomechanical correction, it enhances comfort, compliance, and therapeutic effectiveness.
Why 4DBrace?
The mskalign® 4D Brace revolutionizes scoliosis treatment by using AI-powered design and 3D printing to eliminate subjectivity in bracing, ensuring precise, personalized correction. Its comfortable, discreet design improves patient compliance, while self-developed algorithms optimize efficiency in brace creation. With cost-adaptive production and remote service options, it caters to diverse needs, making advanced scoliosis care accessible, effective, and tailored for every patient.
AI-powered Derotation
AI-powered derotation involves fine-tuning limbs to a standard position and algorithmic correction of trunk rotation.
AI-powered Coronal
Correction & Balancing
The 4D Brace creates a virtual spine model from X-rays, using AI to simulate optimal correction while reinforcing stiffness with 3D-printed supports.
Concealed Brace
Hidden underneath clothing,
these technologies protect patient privacy and minimize impact on daily activities.
AI-powered Sagittal Elongation
Creating a virtual spine from lateral x-ray involves lifting the trunk using the underarms and correcting kyphosis while tightening the abdomen.
Field-driven Lattice
Generating lattice according to body temperature distributions can improve thermal comfort for better compliance.
ECA Wearable Sensor
Recording daily wear time and online health management features are being developed for this model.
