Thanks for the information JeanZ and your kind words.
Just a follow up. Ben has been wearing the brace for about 6 weeks now and doing GREAT. I am so proud of him. He wears it to school and sleeping and generally gets about 18-20 hours in a day. He keeps wanting to wear it for 24 straight hours (he's so competitive).
He doesnt seem to mind putting it on and sometimes just doesn't feel like taking it off.
When we went to the orthotist for a checkup a few weeks ago they noted, as they did when he first put his brace on, that the brace was causing one of his shoulders to be higher than the other one. They now want him to wear a shoulder strap also.
Is anyone familiar with this type of strap? I don't want to keep adding additional things as he is doing so well.
Thanks and hope everyone is doing fine
