A method (1100) of fabricating a personalised orthopaedic cast (900) is disclosed. The method (1100) includes 3D scanning of a body part of a user, generating a Computer Aided Design (CAD) of an orthopaedic cast (900) for the scanned body part, and simulating real-life conditions to determine mechanical stability of the modelled cast. The mechanical stability is determined through Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The method (1100) includes determining whether the mechanical stability of the modelled cast is acceptable. The method (1100) includes finalising the CAD model when the mechanical stability of the modelled cast is found to be acceptable. The method (1100) includes 3D printing the finalised CAD model to fabricate the personalised orthopaedic cast (900).

The present disclosure describes an infant brace for treating an infant with a fractured clavicle. The infant brace includes a torso portion for receiving the donning infant's torso, and an arm portion for receiving the donning infant's arm on the side coinciding with the fractured clavicle. The infant brace is formed from an elastic netting material. The infant brace provides effective immobilization of the infant's affected upper arm while minimizing risks of over-heating or causing pressure sores.

A shoulder brace has: a support structure; strap retractors such as flat spiral torsion springs mounted to the support structure; and left and right shoulder straps each having a first strap part connected to the support structure and a second strap part connected to a free end of a respective spiral torsion spring. A method has the following stages: positioning a support structure against a user's upper back; looping left and right shoulder straps around a user's left and right shoulders, respectively; and in which each of the left and right shoulder straps connects to the support structure via a strap retractor, such as a spiral torsion spring for applying tension through the respective left or right shoulder strap to pull the user's shoulders back.

Braces for immobilizing clavicle fractures in infants may include a garment of fabric sized and shaped to extend around a torso and along at least one arm of an infant. The garment may include a first closure configured to secure the garment around the torso of the infant, a second closure configured to secure the garment over a shoulder corresponding to a fractured clavicle of the infant, and a sleeve configured to extend around an upper and lower arm of the infant on a same lateral side of the garment as the second closure. The sleeve may include at least a third closure configured to secure the sleeve around the upper and lower arm of the infant. A portion of the sleeve may be affixed to a portion of the garment, the portion of the garment to which the sleeve may be affixed being located over the torso of the infant when the garment is secured around the torso of the infant.

An exercise and training device comprising a sleeved chest harness to which stretchable straps with handles are attached.

A clavicle protective device may include a contoured member configured to cover at least a portion of the clavicle. The contoured member may have an inner surface configured to face the at least a portion of the clavicle and an outer surface configured to face away from the at least a portion of the clavicle. The contoured member may include a first contact portion, a second contact portion, and a bridge portion positioned between the first contact portion and the second contact portion. The first contact portion may be configured to contact the subject's body above the clavicle. The second contact portion may be configured to contact the subject's body below the clavicle. The bridge portion may be configured to be spaced apart from the subject's body when the first contact portion and the second contact portion contact the subject's body.
