Abstract: A mechanically advantaged progressive spinal system and method, wherein a string- and pulley-free strap arrangement facilitates adjustment of tension and enhances patient delivered muscle strength, wherein posterior plate curvature may be quickly and easily adjusted to best accommodate a patient's lordosis and kyphosis, and wherein modular components allow for adaptation of mobility and support to improving patient needs.

Abstract: A hyperextension back brace system is a cruciform structure with an upper and lower vertical arms, left and right horizontal arms, and an extender arm for each of the arms. A pubic pad has an inwardly facing resilient foam fixedly coupled to the lower end of the extender arm of the lower vertical arm. A V-shaped intermediate plate is secured at its central extent to the upper end of the extender arm of the upper vertical arm with a pair of pectoral pads. The V-shaped plate has upwardly extending arms. A pair of rigid side pads have an inwardly facing resilient foam fixedly coupled to the exterior end of the horizontal extender arms. A belt of a pile material is attached at one end of one of the side pads.

Abstract: A hypertension brace of cruciform shape having four pads, including sternal, pubic and two side pads, in which each of the four arms is longitudinally adjustable so as to facilitate fitting the patient. Further, at least the sternum pad is flexibly mounted to enable easy comformability to the sternum area of the individual patient.
