ABSTRACT:
A cervical support has a substantially inherently stable support member of resilient foam material, constructed to encircle the neck of a patient who is to wear the cervical support. The support member has overlapping free end parts which are releasably connectable to each other. Support elements are insertable into through radial openings of the support member, each support element having a shank having a mushroom-shaped head at one end and a large area head at its other end. The former head can be pressed into a disc or band partially embracing the outer surface of the support member. The support elements can be selectively removed from, or inserted into, the openings to provide local stiffening of the support member as required by the patient's condition.
