Braces for polio, provided essential support for weakened limbs. They were designed to stabilize the knee and ankle, enabling better mobility and balance for individuals affected by the disease. The braces helped patients stand and walk by redistributing weight and preventing joint collapse. Customization was common to accommodate individual needs and comfort. These devices played a vital role in rehabilitation, allowing many to regain some independence in their daily activities. | StarkUrbex
