Patent number: 11980562Abstract: Systems and methods for correcting spinal deformity utilize a dynamic, multi-structure torso orthosis that allows motion during wear. The disclosed embodiments utilize a series of elastically coupled ring structures that conform to the circumference of the torso of a patient. Adjustable elastic coupling mechanisms are utilized to create and alter forces and moments that are applied to the torso through these ring structures. In some instances, the ring structures are formed from individual elements that can be linked to accommodate particular anatomies. In other instances, a superior ring structure can be configured to accommodate the patient's upper torso.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Green Sun Medical, LLCInventors: Matthew Thompson, Darin Gittings

Publication number: 20230355418Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of correction of spinal deformity that overcome current limitations by utilizing a dynamic, multi-segment torso orthosis that allows motion during wear. The disclosed embodiments utilize a series of elastically coupled segments that conform to the circumference of the torso of a patient. Adjustable elastic coupling mechanisms are utilized to create and alter forces and moments that are applied to the torso through the segments. These elastic coupling mechanisms also allow each circumferential segment to move relative to the other segments giving the brace dynamic capability.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2022Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Green Sun Medical, LLCInventors: Matthew Thompson, Paul M.
