question: My mom ,92 has a compression fracture in T 12. What type of back brace would benefit here. She has been prescribed a nascott tlso back brace but it appears to rigid and presses heavily in her sternum. Rides up an hits her an her Adam s apple when sitting and makes swallowing difficult. It has a rigid hard plastic shell with Velcro straps and a triangular hard plastic sternum piece. What are your thoughts? She hates the way it feels around her neck and sternum area.
