CANT SIT IN MILWAUKEE BRACE?

Question

I am 10 years old and having a milwaukee brace. several people have told me it will be difficult for me to sit and practically impossible to sit on the floor. What part of a milwaukee brace will stop me sitting on the floor?

Answer 1

sorry not familiar with the wearing of the milwaukee brace.  When I scoliosis as a teen I wore a Boston Brace.  My guess would be the pelvic girdle that I think extends down to the base of the buttocks.  There is also a neck ring with two pads that go underneath your chin.

Answer 2

You should be able to sit in the brace. If it is very very uncomfortable, go back to the person who made it for you and get them to make it more comfortable for you.

Im not sure, but don't try it to find out.

That sounds like you could end up really injuring yourself badly.
