Leg braces are devices used to keep weak diseased legs from collapsing under their owner's weight. Polio left many children needing such devices.
Another name for the "{" and "}" symbols. See Bracket.

Bracing does not typically reduce the degree of the curve/amount of angulation already present.
Since bracing only works to stop the progression of the curvature in a growing child, it is not used for those children who are already skeletally mature or almost mature.
Brace treatment is usually used in girls up to one year after menarche, the onset of the female menstrual cycle.
