Its retained its form

She has had her braces for the past 2 1/2 years. They have helped her extremely. She doesn't have feeling from the knee down so when she's wearing the braces she does very well at keeping herself up with that great support. The only thing they don't do well is helping her feet stay straight, she still turns them in and you have to remind her to correct them sometimes.

My experience has been very frustrating. The more I have tried to correct and repair things, the more my body has fallen apart.
