  • Torso orthosis apparatus and method
    Publication number: 20030220594
    Abstract: A torso orthosis including a chest support securable to a patient. The chest support includes a sternal plate securable in a substantially fixed position with respect to the patient's chest. The chest support also includes a sternal bar and a connection between the sternal plate and the sternal bar. The connection allows the sternal bar to move longitudinally with respect to the sternal plate so that the sternal plate remains in the substantially fixed position with respect to the patient's chest as the patient's torso flexes. The connection can also allow the sternal bar to pivot with respect to the sternal plate as the patient's torso flexes.
