Spanish term or phrase: cumplimentación
Se trata de un estudio sobre dos corsés para tratar la escoliosis y aparece este término, del que no he encontrado ninguna traducción. Este es el contexto:

El problema radica en que la efectividad de este tipo de ortesis se ha ligado siempre al número de horas diarias de tratamiento, de modo que entre el 74% y 92% de los pacientes tratados con corsé durante 23 horas al día, y con buena cumplimentación del mismo, mejoraron o no empeoraron la progresión de la curva (9,10).

Explanation:
