Would braces help a human born in micro gravity "walk" on a station with gravity
In Warlords poorer families in the belt or some of the colonies are not able (for whatever reason) to pay for 'gravity treatments' or possibly helpful drugs and are forced to live and raise their children in micro gravity.
Now I think a freakishly tall human with his legs and spine having a visible brace would make these "Lanks" easy to spot and have a unique vibe too them. Also is fun to visualize.
What I am wondering is would braces help these Lanks walk. In my mind the braces would be a small scale exosuit that not only holds them up but does most of the work for them. But feel free to make a better suggestion if you have one.
Notes:
Space stations gravity (through centrifugal force) is set to or approaching roughly Martian gravity (if this isn't possible or is impractical lunar gravity would do)
Lanks are born (usually) via artificial wombs with the idea being: somehow the machine can simulate gravity inside itself for the fetus (maybe through water currents).
