My brother who was diagnosed with ALS on January 8th with leg and hand weakness is already experiencing difficulty tying his shoes and buttoning his shirts. He also has fallen on numerous occasions, the last of which endend with an injury to his elbow. My question is this. Does anyone know if using braces on his arms would aid in his weaking grip strength? He has a prescription for leg braces but has not filled it yet. He knows that the leg braces would help him but he is very stubborn.
