  • Posterior lumbar lordosis orthotic device
    Patent number: 6702770
    Abstract: A posterior lumbar lordosis orthotic device includes front and back panels and sides. The back panel is shaped to simulate the lordosis of an individual and has upper and lower regions angularly related to one another. Screws accessible from the inside of the back panel are rotatable to adjust the angle between the upper and lower regions to more closely accommodate the specific lordosis of an individual. The front panel is secured to the sides, using modified pop rivets, enabling the front panel and sides to be adjustably secured to one another to adjust the overall girth of the device and to differentially adjust the girth along upper and lower portions of the device to accommodate individuals of different waist and hip sizes.
