Off Topic eh-hem, "debates"
I could be wrong (it has happened before), but I saw Linda's posting in a different light. Recently there were several deleted posts in a thread intended as place for a parent to post her experience, in a supportive atmosphere. Many comments were deleted, and rightly so, because they were off topic and explosive in nature - or, things which would not provide said patient with a supportive environment.
So I think Linda saw that this had the propensity to happen in this thread and she was trying to circumvent it. A proactive approach.
Bty, I suggested that we write to Lori Dolan (in the other thread) and query the clinical use of the term "in-brace study." I did write her and this was her reply:

I’m not aware of any studies where all the x-rays are taken with the brace on – usually in-brace x-rays are taken within a few weeks after the brace is delivered to check on pad placement, trimlines, decompensation, and the amount of curve correction. Otherwise, x-rays are taken out-of-brace.
Sometimes people will use the term “study” as they would radiograph, xray, film, etc. But usually it means what you’d think it does – i.e. a research study.
