概要
In this episode, Dr. Steve Gard, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, is joined by Jennifer Richards, MA, CPO, to discuss her research on how daily orthotic wear time affects treatment outcomes for pectus carinatum. Drawing on a review of 67 patients treated at the University of Michigan Orthotics and Prosthetics Center, Jennifer explains why consistent wear—at least 16 hours per day—is critical to achieving meaningful correction. The conversation highlights how reduced wear time resulted in minimal improvement or, in some cases, worsening outcomes, underscoring the importance of clear, evidence-based guidance for both clinicians and patients. Jennifer also shares her goals for translating research into practical clinical recommendations, explores challenges related to patient adherence, and outlines opportunities for future research to further refine treatment protocols.
