Abstract: A postural orthosis support apparatus for use with a personal body armor carrier includes a resilient semi-rigid base panel and at least one cushioning element. The base panel has a curvature for promoting a desired alignment of a spine of a user. The base panel includes a low temperature thermoplastic material, so that the curvature may be custom molded directly on the thoracic and lumbar areas on a person's back to ergonomically improve and support optimal posture. The postural orthosis support apparatus is configured to be secured to a personal body armor carrier interior of a ballistic panel.

Abstract: A postural support apparatus comprising is provided including an biasing body comprising: a top member; a bottom member, spaced from the top member; and a left and right resilient members attached at each end of the top and bottom members. The left and right resilient members are configured to bias the top and bottom members into a predetermined position. The support apparatus also includes a load distributor connected to the biasing body configured to distribute a load force applied to the postural support apparatus.
