\u200bA postural brace aims to improve trunk support which can provide better head\/neck control and use of your arms and hands. It is most helpful when sitting but it can also be used in a standing frame or walker. Our postural braces can be one piece, which wraps around your body and fastens at the front, or two-piece, which has a back and front section with fastens at each side. A postural brace can accommodate feeding pegs and any other health needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We advise you to wear your brace during the day. If you are in bed, lying down or getting therapy, you can remove your brace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
