A formable cast (100) or brace is provided herein which comprises a padding (101), an outer shell (103) spaced apart from the padding, and a ridge (109) disposed along the perimeter of the shell. The ridge, shell and padding define an interior space (115), with a curable polymeric material disposed in the interior space. The curable polymeric material undergoes a phase transition, upon curing, from a liquid or gel phase to a substantially rigid solid phase. The cast or brace (100) may be readily customized to the patient by fitting the cast to the patient's body, positioning the cast in the desired orientation, and curing the curable polymeric material through exposure to actinic radiation or by other suitable means.

A brace (10) which can be used in the orthopedic sector for correctly blocking and anatomically supporting the vertebral column, substantially consisting of a semirigid slat (11), with elongated vertical development, shaped in accordance with the vertebral column and thus making it possible to follow and support the column, the lower part being attached to straps (12) which are fixed at the front to an abdominal plate (13), wrapping around the waist, and the upper part to the end of straps (14) which also couple to the same abdominal plate (13), passing through loops (15) positioned at the sides, there being, in the initial part of the straps (14), that is to say in the coupling area (16) of the casing that encloses the semirigid slat and to a certain extent the section towards the front of the brace, a pocket (17) surrounded by stitching and in which there is a slit (18), said pocket being designed to accommodate a stiffening element (19) with a substantially arched shape.

A thoracic lumbar sacral orthosis attachment for configuring an orthopedic device as a thoracic lumbar sacral orthosis by connecting the attachment to the orthopedic device. The attachment has an anterior aspect including an anterior panel arranged to connect to an orthopedic device. An anterior thoracic extension (ATE) is securable to the anterior panel, and a support bar extends from the ATE. A strap system includes an axillary strap system and/or a shoulder strap system removably securing onto a surface of the orthopedic device, and/or the ATE.

Provided is a waist belt including: a nonstretchable left main belt, a nonstretchable right main belt, a nonstretchable left inner tightening belt, a nonstretchable left outer tightening belt, a nonstretchable right inner tightening belt, a nonstretchable right outer tightening belt, a stretchable left subsidiary tightening belt, a stretchable right subsidiary tightening belt, a right folding-back ring, a left folding-back ring, a left linking ring, a left linking ring and an insertion ring. Circumferential differences at the waist portion of a user are absorbed. Even when the user moves, the function of tightening the waist portion is not impaired.

There is provided an orthotic configured for muscle imbalance correction. The orthotic has a strapping configured for physically activating an undercompensating muscle group by physically pulling substantially in-line with muscle fibres of the undercompensating muscle group to assist muscle activation and physically deactivating an overcompensating muscle group by physically pulling and therefore compressing across muscle fibres of the overcompensating muscle group to provide muscle resistance. Examples of the undercompensating muscle group are at least one of the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus, vastus medialis and vastus medialis oblique. Examples of the overcompensating muscle group are at least one of the tensor fascia latae and iliopsoas.

A multifunctional vest for posture correcting, pain relieving and workout boosting comprises a vest-like garment wearing by an individual on the torso, the garment having shoulder and waist bands that join the anterior portion with posterior portion for securing and adjusting the fit of the garment to the wearer. The upper anterior section is made of elastic materials that allow for both female and male individuals to wear. The multifunctional vest also comprises removable parts that can be used for multiple purposes. Support stays and scapular straps are provided in the posterior portion for improving body posture. A therapeutic magnet belt that can be attached to both anterior and posterior portion is provided for purpose of relieving pain. For boosting workout purpose, a workout boosting sheet is provided in attaching to necessary place while doing exercise or daily activities.

A spine force modulating assembly for supporting a human spine that prevents, slows down, and or treats spine-related disorders. The spine force modulating assembly includes a frame of a length proportional to a distance between a third thoracic spine bone and a first sacral spine bone of a spine of a wearer of the spine force modulating assembly. The frame is of a “S” shape and configured to support a spine portion between the third thoracic spine bone and the first sacral spine bone. The spine force modulating assembly further includes a pair of shoulder straps extending from near the upper end of the frame and a pair of waist straps extending from near the lower end of the frame.

An automated orthotic device with a treatment regimen and a method for using an automated orthotic device with a treatment regimen to provide a plurality of prescribed tension settings. The orthotic device may comprise a body brace, a controller, a data storage means, and a communication means to address the problem of patients being required to visit the physician's office every time an adjustment must be made in the prescribed tension setting in their automated orthotic device. In one embodiment, a plurality of prescribed tension settings in the automated orthotic device are sorted so that as the patient's condition improves, the next prescribed tension setting in the treatment regimen may be applied. In another embodiment, the physician is allowed to edit or supplement a patient's treatment regimen remotely by connecting to the automated orthotic device over a network.

A therapeutic garment for treatment of over-shunting headaches and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the therapeutic garment includes a waistband and an abdominal portion that extends from the waistband to encircle the abdomen and hips from the groin to the costal margin of a person wearing the therapeutic garment. A binder portion, having open and closed positions, is coincident to the abdominal portion. In the closed position, the binder distends the epidural venous plexus of the person wearing the therapeutic garment. A closure mechanism is configured to selectively alternate the binder between the open and closed positions. The therapeutic garment may further be fashioned into a brief, a tank top, or include leg extensions.
