An orthopedic device is arranged for scapulothoracic stabilization, inclusive of features for biomechanical stabilization of the shoulder, scapula and spine, treated alone or in combination with assembly features for supporting an arm or shoulder. The orthopedic device may be arranged in a garment or shoulder harness such that either may include first and second strap systems for extending over first and second shoulders of a user, respectively, and each of the first and second strap systems forms a “Figure 9” shape about the respective shoulder, with a strap section arranged to extend toward a waist stabilizer that may form part of the orthopedic device.

Lower back braces and materials for braces having an elastic base and inelastic strands or tightening mechanism(s) are provided. An elastic base material could be made effectively inelastic by tightening an inelastic cord that extends across the elastic base material. Additionally or alternatively, an elastic base material could include one or more inelastic strands that define one or more inelastic compression zones in an otherwise elastic base.

A supportive spinal brace easily configurable to support disabled or injured and various chosen postures. The spinal brace comprises a plurality of rotatably interlocking components (101). The rotatably interlocking components are able to interlock together line at various user configurable rotational offsets to form a user configurable supportive undulation along the length of the brace. In an embodiment, the rotatably interlocking components define portions which interlock together at medial side (104, 105) thereof and at lateral sides (106) thereof with laterally adjacent plates (108), thereby supporting each interlocking portion at both medial and lateral sides thereof for enhanced structural integrity of the brace.

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 is partially coincident to the abdominal portion. The binder portion includes a pressure subassembly including a network of interconnected channels having an inflation valve accessible from an exterior of the abdominal portion. The pressure assembly, when selectively inflated, provides a qualified degree of compression to distend an epidural venous plexus of the person wearing the therapeutic garment. The therapeutic garment may further be fashioned into a brief, a tank top, or include leg extensions.

An article of apparel may include a garment having a loose-fitting outer shell and an integrated compression band within the outer shell and configured to apply compression to a portion of the body of a wearer of the garment to promote muscle recovery. The compression band may be disposed internal to, and separate from, the outer shell of the garment.

A pelvic prolapse treatment belt includes a main structural member having an inner and outer side for wrapping around a wearer including up to their hips. The main structural member includes a plurality of through-hole regions positioned to be located on respective sides of a wearer's spine. A compression pad is attached to the main structural member that has a wider top and a narrower bottom. The compression pad is configured for placing over a pelvic cavity of the wearer to provide support. A first and a second strap are attached to the narrower bottom and have a length sufficient for extending over the wearer's buttocks. The straps are sized for being pulled through the through-hole and have a distal end with an attachment feature for attaching to the outer side of the main structural member.

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.
