Bracing may be used to support a weak muscle, or to prevent excess contraction of a spastic muscle.
Spasticity is when muscles are continuously tight or stiff. Spasticity occurs commonly in multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and brain injury.
Random/confused brain signals that force involuntary muscle movements. It is also known as 'Spasticity'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spasticity
We are bracing ourselves for the worst.Or, begin the bracing for impact!
very basically bracing is used so structure doesn't fall over. it resists the lateral forces created from wind, earthquake and other loads.
Bracing is used in structures to help resist lateral forces like wind or seismic loads. It provides stability and stiffness to the structure, preventing excessive movement or deformation during these events. Bracing can improve the overall structural performance and safety of a building.
Baclofen is a muscle relaxant, used mainly for people with M.S. It helps control spasticity.

Local injections of botulinum toxin can selectively weaken overactive muscles in dystonia and spasticity. Destruction of peripheral nerves through injection of phenol can reduce spasticity
A bracing connection is the fixing that holds bracing in place and to transfer loads into the bracing. Bracing holds the structure stable by transferring sideways loads (ie: not gravity, but wind or earthquake loads) down to the ground. It helps keep the structure upright and square when these loads come on to the building.

Expecting horrible news, Ellie was bracing for the worst.
