Figure 4

Patient with chronic low back pain and neuromuscular scoliosis. The patient was unable to walk in an upright posture without the brace. She needed a special aid for ambulation (see picture on the left). Whilst in the brace she could omit this walking aid and has significantly less back pain (as can be seen on the right). A constant relief of muscle tension has also been reported by this patient, who feels far less fatigue at the end of the day. (The patient provided her consent to be featured in the manuscript.)
