ABSTRACT:
A cervical brace includes a support brace which, in use, is receivable about and circumferentially surrounds a wearer's neck and is generally supportable on the wearer's shoulders and upper torso. The support brace includes a pair of spaced-apart generally vertically-extending, length-adjustable front struts, and a pair of spaced-apart, generally vertically extending, length adjustable rear struts, spaced rearwardly from the front struts, each of which struts has a top end and a bottom end, and two pairs of upper and lower spaced-apart, generally horizontally extending, length-adjustable side struts, each pair of which connects one of the front struts to the rear strut disposed rearwardly thereof. A pair of generally horizontally-disposed length adjustable front and rear cross braces connect the front and rear struts, respectively, together adjacent to lower ends thereof. A generally horizontally disposed, angle-, position- and length-adjustable chin support member assembly is mounted between the front struts adjacent to top ends thereof, and a generally-horizontally disposed and length adjustable head support assembly member is mounted between the rear struts adjacent to the top ends thereof for engaging and supporting the back of the head of the wearer.
