ABSTRACT:
A method of bracing a patient's back includes constructing a back brace about the torso of the patient. The back brace includes a thermoplastic back panel and a thermoplastic chest panel. In the method, the back and chest panels are selected by size and are heat softened to render them manually pliable. The softened panels are pressed against the patient's back and chest, and are thus deformed into finished shapes in which they closely match the shapes of the patient's back and chest. The panels then rigidify in their finished shapes upon cooling to room temperature. The finished panels are mounted on the patient's back and chest by straps which attach the panels to each other in place on the patient.
