2021, Gait and PostureCitation Excerpt :Breast motion was significantly lower in the posture bra compared to the everyday bra suggesting that the posture bra provided sufficient breast support for everyday activity, in excess of an everyday bra, rejecting H3. Bras are generally designed to provide extrinsic support to the breasts, reducing the amount of breast movement, improving comfort and preventing breast pain [42].
