Fracture TRIZ Cases
- Rear-entry ankle support with open-malleoli midfoot for natural movement
Segmented elastomeric structure resolves the trade-off between ankle stability and natural movement by isolating support zones.
- Cervical Collar Cable Adjustment Chin Support
A cervical collar uses a cable reel and pulley to vertically adjust the chin support position along an elongate slot.
- Inflatable Cervical Collar with Posterior-Lateral Pocket
An inflatable posterior-lateral pocket in a cervical collar fills voided spaces to restrict unwanted head movement and maintain spinal curvature.
- External Spinal Distraction System Using Shoulder Girdle Leverage
External corset applies cyclical distraction forces through skin and soft tissue, reducing Cobb angles without invasive surgical implants.
- Heat-Moldable Splint With Hinge For Custom Arm Fit
Segmentation and parameter changes enable a splint with heat-moldable supports and a dynamic hinge to customize fit for varying limb shapes.
- Neck Support System with Strap Retraction Mechanism
A detachable neck support system uses a strap retractor mechanism to permit freedom of movement while preventing spinal hyperflexion.
