Orthopedic devices include a body having an internal chamber housing a curable material. At least a portion of the body provides a barrier member structured to transmit an energy source therethrough to contact the curable material disposed in the internal chamber. The curable material is provided in a first form that provides flexibility to the body and is structured to rigidize in a second form when exposed to the energy source.
