- Poor sitting ability
- Hyperkyphosis of the thoracic spine
- Shoulder protraction linked with low tone
- Movements associated with athetoid and ataxic cerebral palsy
- Neuropathic Scoliosis
- Mobile Idiopathic Scoliosis
- Spasticity with underlying low tone

The individual orthosis designs allow prescribers to work with complex postural presentations such as neuropathic scoliosis - here the aim is to maintain or reduce the curve using a layer(s) of material panels specifically positioned to encourage the spine to realign itself. A real alternative to more rigid bracing.
