Hyperkyphotic brace solution?

Hyperkyphotic brace solution?

Good morning, Colleagues

Did anyone come up with a WORKING bracing solution for hyperkyphotic
elderly ladies?
Anatomy is, likely, best described with this: ? .
Normally, skin and bone, very short, very sensitive. Very little
shoulder ROM, poor vision, lack of desire to work with straps or,
simple inability to do so, weak musculature. In many cases, somehow
living independently and not really having helper.
Nothing off the shelf works, as it's always too tall in the front, too
tight, too complicated and, definitely, not matching anatomy.
Custom devices press too much at the sternum and pecs, as they keep
collapsing into the anterior shell.
If someone has a working TLSO solution, not a soft placebo, I'd really
appreciate. I have several of such cases a year.

Thank you in advance
