A soft body jacket should be fitted by a certified Occupation Therapist as one size does NOT fit all and if it is not fitted properly, a pressure rub could happen. Best Wishes In a message dated 3/20/2013 10:02:08 A.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
To Greg and others interested in the soft body jackets--I think I need of these to help my posture or support me a bit better.....we have tried binders years ago with no luck because they move around too much on me, I have a syrinx and awful pain many days, this body jacket may just work for me I'm hoping-- (have any of you tried any of them at all ? ) seems to be a few types not sure what may be best, there are some like Boston Brace and other styles.....I need something to just kinda support my back and tighten quad gut a bit and I believe that could help quite a bit. ( Greg if you or anyone else gets one or has tried them yet, please let me know what you think ?? )thanks all-- Dan H*** C-6 going on towards 16 years post. ____________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Fri, March 8, 2013 9:26:09 AM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] LSO Soft Body Jacket A girdle or corset is considered a soft body brace.... There are several forms of soft body bracing to hold and preserve. Best Wishes In a message dated 3/8/2013 9:16:18 A.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: What is a soft body brace?

My spine is curving a bit and my chair's lateral supports never stay tight enough and move out. They then bother my inner arm, a lot. And my back starts to hurt and be uncomfortable. I was thinking about trying a sort body back brace. I just don't know how bad it would feel sitting in a chair all day with one on. I might still need my lateral supports so I don't tip out. I'm so much more tippy than I use to be. I just don't know if a soft body brace is strong enough to hold me straight. Not a abdominal binder, but a 3/4 inch foam brace. Thanks, Greg
