Gene Bernardoni - Chicago IL, US
International Classification:
A61F005/00
US Classification:
602/019000
Abstract:
A body-worn appliance for lordosis adjustment of a patient to alleviate pain or discomfort in or originating in the cervical spine region of the patient has an anterior portion and a posterior portion connected together by adjustable straps. The anterior portion has a rigid frame with a central opening, and the posterior portion has a relatively short height so that, when worn by a patient, the appliance has minimal bracing or supporting effect. One or more pads is/are releasably attachable to the posterior portion to set a thickness of the combination of the posterior portion and the pad or pads. Setting of this thickness is undertaken to effect a desired lordosis adjustment of the patient when the appliance is worn by the patient, so as to produce a neutral cervical spine orientation, thereby alleviating discomfort in or originating in the cervical spinal region without the necessity of wearing a neck brace or support.
