Abstract: A brace for application to a body joint, the brace including a substantially rigid brace substrate and a tensioning system for imparting tension to the substrate for adjusting the contour or angulation of the substrate.

Abstract: A cervical collar having a vertically adjustable chin support, the collar including a chin support adjustably connected to a collar body, the collar body defining an elongate slot; a cable located on the collar body; a cable stop connected to a distal portion of the cable and connecting between the collar body and the chin support, the cable stop being slidingly positionable along the slot on the collar body; and a pulley located on the collar body adjacent to the elongate slot. The cable cooperates with the pulley so that the direction of the cable is changed between the cable stop and a proximal portion of the cable, and movement of the distal portion of the cable adjusts the position of the cable stop along the slot and adjusts the vertical position of the chin support relative to the collar body.

Abstract: An adjustable and tensionable spinal brace, including a pair of conformable waist belt and a cable tensioning system releasably and adjustably attachable to the waist belt. The cable tensioning system includes at least one cable, a pair of cable spreaders, and one or more cable take-ups. The waist belt is initially snugly installable around the waist of the user by overwrapping the anterior ends, with portions of the cable tensioning system adjacent the spine of the user. The cable tensioning system is operable to enable micro adjustment of compressive forces applied via the brace to impart a desired compression or tension about the waist of the user.

Abstract: A cervical collar having a vertically adjustable chin support, the collar including chin support adjustably connected to a collar body having a stop guide, an adjustment member for adjusting the length of a cable trained around a pulley located on the collar body adjacent to the cable guide and connected to a cable stop connecting between the collar body and the chin support and movably positionable along the stop guide on the collar body, wherein the length of the cable adjusts the position of the cable stop along the stop guide and adjusts the vertical position of the chin support relative to the collar body.
