Does anyone know if your morning height decreases through the day or not if you're in a wheelchair all day not taking any steps? For example, if you're getting limb lengthening done with the precise nail and have to be bound to a wheelchair will your morning height remain the same and in this case should this be factored in to your lengthening goal?

Your spine is still compressing throughout the day as it is upright. So I’d assume it would be the same.
