摘要:
A neck orthosis, head support system and method of use for supporting a head of a patient having a medical condition are described. The neck orthosis can comprise a body made of a material which is flexible and stretchy and a releasable fastener. The neck orthosis is shaped to cause the neck orthosis snuggly to conform to the anatomy of the patient adjacent the neck of the patient when the neck support is secured in use about the neck of the patient by the releasable fastener to support the head of the patient. A head support system can include a plurality of different support members which can be releasably attached to the neck orthosis to provide different types of support to the head of the patient.

A therapeutic device (1) comprises a body (2) with a shoulder -engaging part (12) and a chest-engaging part (11) and , elevated pivot supports (12) extending upwardly from the shoulder-engaging part (12) at locations to be on opposed sides of a patient's head in use. A head support (3) with a chin cradle (35) is pivotally connected by pivot joints (20) to the pivot supports (12). Torsion springs (24) bias the head support (3) upwardly. Sensors wirelessly provide data to a processor such as a smartphone so that the extent of movement of the head support can be monitored.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a neck relief device (1) comprising a flexible connecting device (3), which extends along the spine between an upper fixing point (3') above the cervical vertebrae (3A) of the spine and a lower fixing point (3D) below the cervical vertebrae (3A) of the spine, and a piece of headgear (20, 21) intended therefore.
摘要:
A cervical collar, comprising: an anterior portion (100) having a rigid or semi-rigid shell anterior main support piece (102); a posterior portion (146) connected to the anterior portion (100); the main support piece (102) including resilient or flexible edges (118) formed along the periphery of the main support piece (102) and the flexible edges (118) being integrally formed with the second component of the anterior portion (100), a three dimensional (3D) anatomically configured proximal support portion (120) of the anterior portion (100).
摘要:
A composite material for forming custom fitted orthopedic and other products. The composite material is easily formable when heated to temperatures of about two hundred degrees Fahrenheit for a time of at least six to eight minutes and then is rigid at temperatures of about one hundred thirty degrees. The composite material can be sewn and formed in complex shapes when initially heated to about two hundred degrees. Closure attachments can be secured to the composite material as needed on site rather than at the manufacturing facility. The composite material can be custom fitted to a patient in situ.
摘要:
A cervical collar (100) has a front component (102) formed from a compressible foam material and defines part of a tracheal opening (112). The collar also has a height adjustment mechanism (106) secured to the front component (102) which forms a substantially rigid border about the tracheal opening (112), and a sternum pad (104) formed from a compressible foam material. The height adjustment mechanism (106) selectively connects the front component (102) to the sternum pad (104) at a permanently locked position among a plurality of predefined distances along a curvature of the height adjustment mechanism (106) thereby permitting selective sizing of the trachea opening (112).
摘要:
The invention discloses a cervical collar which provides support, safety and stability to the neck of the wearer, and is arranged to prevent cervical flexion, extension and bilateral lateral flexion while allowing cervical rotation. The cervical collar comprises two parts; one back piece 201 including a shoulder and back support piece 204 attached to an adjustable neck piece 226 and a chin support piece 203. The chin support piece 203 can be lowered, raised and/or removed by the wearer of the collar in order to allow opening of the mouth sufficiently for eating or performing personal hygiene without unwanted extension of the neck.
摘要:
A neck brace (10; 110; 210) having a -collar member (12; 212) to be arranged around a wearer's neck, and a rear member (14; 214) extending from the collar member and to be abutted on the wearer's back. The brace comprises pivoting means (37, 38, 40; 276a, 276b, 278, 280a, 280b, 280c) for pivoting the collar member and the rear member relative to each other about a pivoting axis (X; Y) which, when in use, is substantially parallel to the wearer's shoulders.
