Have any Forumites had satisfactory results from these devices? I am under the impression that these devices are made from thermo-plastic, and moulded from a plaster of paris mould impression of the patients back.

I’ve had patients who’ve reported satisfactory results from them, but that’s about all I can offer.

Lex, thankyou, do you have any contact details of manufacturers in Melbourne?

I don’t, but if you contact the orthopaedics department at your local hospital they should have details.

Lex, again thanks, I will follow that up as the patient herself won’t, I think she just wants something to complain about.

For which conditions? And how were they satisfactory (less pain, more movement etc)?

D A what is your opinion of these braces please?

I have no opinion, really. I only know one person who wore one and that was about 15 years ago as a treatment for scoliosis.

D A thankyou, in that one particular case, was the brace benificial?

I have no idea. He was a guy at my school and I know nothing else about him.
