If Ankylosing Spondylitis [Marie Strumpel Disease] is diagnosed early enough, braces to inhibit advancing forward flexion of the upper spine until the spine is completely 'frozen' in place do help a great deal; this process takes years. Once the maximum flexion has occurred, they are of no benefit.
