I had a patient present for another orthotic need with this diagnosis. She and her husband wondered about bracing and the ability to push her toward a better alignment for short periods of time to be able to get a stretch. They were also hoping for her to be able to do some regular activities of daily living such as washing dishes. Has any one braced for this and have you had success?

Thank you in advance for your help!
