Abstract: A spinal alignment component is adapted for incorporation into a wearable spinal alignment apparatus and comprises a first rigid elongate member comprising a first distal end and a second rigid elongate member comprising a second distal end. The first rigid elongate member and the second rigid elongate member are independently movable relative to one another to adjust the displacement between the first distal end and the second distal end. Wearable spinal alignment apparatus incorporating the component is also described. The component and apparatus offers a means to encourage ideal alignment and correct the posture of a wearer.
