Provided is a medical device whereby a burden placed on a patient in spinal deformity surgery is alleviated while facilitating the surgery. A medical device in which a chest unit 5A for supporting the chest of a patient 2 and a pelvic unit 5B for supporting the pelvis of the patient 2 are disposed side by side on a base 10, the medical device being provided with a first shifting device 15, 16 for shifting the chest unit 5A in a first direction closer to or away from the pelvic unit 5B, and a second shifting device 25, 46 for shifting either the chest unit 5A or the pelvic unit 5B in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the first direction with respect to the other of the chest unit 5A or the pelvic unit 5B.

A neck rehabilitation apparatus is disclosed. The neck rehabilitation apparatus may include a ring-shaped neck piece including a plurality of slots formed through the neck piece, and a ring-shaped chest piece including a plurality of slots formed through the chest piece. The apparatus may include at least four adjustable support members. Each adjustable support member may include a first end configured to engage with at least one slot formed through the neck piece, a second end configured to engage with at least one slot formed through the chest piece, a telescoping member configured to be adjustably moved to a selected position, and a telescoping member locking mechanism configured to lock the telescoping member at the selected position. The neck rehabilitation apparatus may provide varying degrees of support during rehabilitation of head and/or neck muscles and vertebrae.

A device that decompresses the lower spine while the wearer is seated or standing. The device includes two belt-shaped straps. The first strap circles the upper torso just below the breast line. The second strap circles the waist at or slightly above the normal belt line riding on the hip. In embodiments of the invention, the lower strap can be a normal belt. The straps can be equipped with pockets that are aligned along the upper edge of the upper strap and the lower edge of the lower strap designed to receive and hold flat splints. Typically, two rigid flat splints extend vertically between the straps centered laterally on the left and right sides of the torso. When the device is worn, it decompresses the lower spine when the person stands or sits.

There is provided an orthosis or exoskeleton system (200) comprising: one or more body mounting modules (102), the or each body mounting module being structured and arranged to, in use, be mounted to one or more parts of a body of a patient, the body mounting modules having different sizes or configurations with respect to each other; and one or more function modules (104), the or each function module being structured and arranged to provide a different sensing, charging or control function; the body mounting modules and the function modules each having an interfacing structure such that any said body mounting module is interchangeably couplable to any said function module.

A sling of a portable traction device cradles a user's head and includes a pair of shock cords attached at opposite ends of the sling. The ends of the shock cords opposite shock cords are anchored is anchored to a structure, such as a closed door at the hinged side of the door, between the door and door frame, using an anchor, at a height, to generate a tension vector at an acute angle relative to the floor. The tension applies cervical traction.
