Hello all i have an 18 month old with a diagnosis of spinal muscle atrophy. He does have some head control but it's weak. When placed in a sitting position he just collapses forward, no trunk strength at all. PT. is looking for some kind of a back brace for him. I'm thinking of a soft TLSO one piece with Velcro closure in the front. My question is in your experience do the babies tolerate this well? Should we just think about seating instead? And any ideas to make the casting and fabrication easy for the child would be welcome. I've taken measurements only so far. I've casted older children but not one this young for a body jacket. Thank you very much for your help. Paula Martinek LPO
