An articulation joint enables a customizable body brace to balance stability with therapeutic movement, reducing muscle atrophy risk during recovery.
Damping elements in a sternal support maintain separation distance, allowing three-dimensional adjustment to adapt to irregular patient body areas.
Torque generators impose resistance between chest and waist straps, reducing spinal compression and muscle tensile forces during forward bending.
Deformable inserts allow infinite fixed angles in braces, resolving the trade-off between manufacturing simplicity and user adaptability.
A physiotherapeutic vest uses elastic panels and a rigid spinal member to apply corrective pressure for posture maintenance.
Knitted orthopedic supports insert non-elastic bands into internal channels to resolve the trade-off between stabilization reliability and device thickness.
