Abstract: The present disclosure provides a bracewear for spinal correction and a system for posture training. The system for posture training involves both active and passive corrective forces by using the bracewear and a biofeedback system to address the spinal correction, which can eliminate the adversity of conventional hard braces and reduce the psychological and physiological barriers to treatment.

Abstract: Devices and methods are provided that simplify and improve placement of stabilizing orthopedic pins, wires, and/or screws in the pelvis in minimally invasive surgery. Provided is a surgical instrument guide containing an adjustable friction clamp for positioning and securing a cannula, and a probe with a blunt, nonpenetrating tip. The probe and a surgical instrument held by the friction clamp are oriented at right angles to one another. In use, the blunt probe is introduced through a small incision and advanced by blunt dissection until the blunt tip is positioned at a desired anatomical landmark on the surface of the pelvis. A cannula inserted through the friction clamp is advanced until the tip of the cannula is within 2 cm of the blunt tip of the probe; an orthopedic pin, wire, and/or screw can then be inserted through the cannula to provide stabilization. The blunt probe may be cannulated.
