Has anyone had experience of using the dm orthosis vest or shorts (dmorthotics.com) to help with stability and balance? I have enquired about them but with consultation, fitting and appliance the cost is nearly £500 so rather expensive unless there is a real benefit.

My 5yo son has the bodysuit and shorts. They are very tight and uncomfortable for him. However I do think they work. They improve posture. And gave him better confidence. With school, toilet breaks etc If is difficult for a child to wear. But may be better for an adult. Depending how wobbly you get you may need help getting it on and off.
