An adjustable brace includes a first portion for supporting one surface of a patient and a plurality of adjustable portions that allow the internal cross section of the brace to be adjusted. When a limb is injured, a patient may have a swollen limb and the adjustable brace can be set to a large cross section. As the limb heals, the swelling decreases and the limb cross section also decreases due to atrophy. The adjustable couplings are adjusted to reduce the cross section to properly fit the limb of the patient and provide proper protection and support during the healing process.

A bikini brace has an inner surface that corresponds to a digital representation of an injured limb. The bikini brace can wrap around a length of the limb in a helical manner. The body of the bikini brace may be a single piece structure that is fenestrated to provide air circulation to the injured limb.

An electromagnetic coupling device. The coupling device has a device body and at least one tongue member protruding from the device body. The tongue member has one or more ferro-magnetic engagement means provided thereon. At least one tongue member receiving means is provided on or defined by the device body and at least one electromagnet is provided substantially adjacent the receiving means. The engagement means provided on the tongue member of a second electromagnetic coupling device may be accommodated within the receiving means of the device body. The electromagnet is operable to cause the engagement means of the tongue member of the said second electromagnetic coupling device to substantially resist or prevent movement of the said tongue member within the receiving means.

An orthotic device comprises a torso section fabricated from a first material for conforming to at least a portion of a wearer's torso, the torso section having a first shoulder portion on a first side of the torso section and a second shoulder portion on a second side of the torso section. An arm section is attached to the first side of the torso section adjacent to the first shoulder portion for encapsulating a first shoulder of a wearer. A reinforcement (90) applies a compressive force to the first shoulder of the wearer. This orthotic device provides a spinal de-rotation effect, and pulls the first shoulder either backwards and down or forwards and down.

The present invention is to provide a back support plate, which is integrally formed of plastic and includes an upper portion with an inner-side having a vertical curvature and a horizontal curvature that respectively conform to the curvature of human thoracic vertebrae and a horizontal curvature of the human back corresponding in position to the thoracic vertebrae, and a lower portion with an inner-side having a vertical curvature and a horizontal curvature that respectively conform to the curvature of human lumbar vertebrae and a horizontal curvature of the human back corresponding in position to the lumbar vertebrae. The two inner-sides are protrudingly provided with a plurality of protruding knobs which correspond in position to two lateral sides of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae and have upwardly and downwardly decreasing widths, respectively, such that the joining section between the two portions extends to the two lateral sides of the human back.
摘要:
A brace has a plurality of elongated beams that extend in parallel along the length of the brace. The adjacent beams are coupled to posts that extend around the circumference of the brace in a staggered pattern and hold the beams in place around the brace. The beams and posts define a plurality of elongated fenestrations. The configuration of the beams and fenestrations allow the brace to be strong in compression and bending and also provide elastic radial expansion.
