ABSTRACT:
This application discloses a dynamic orthosis device utilizing elastic forces to treat scoliosis or other curvatures of the spine. First and second shell segments are provided with a connecting arrangement for adjustably aligning them so as to encompass the torso. At least one pressure pad is pivotably mounted to one of the shell segments, and an elastic strap is adjustably secured to one of the shell segments so as to exert a predetermined force on the pressure pad. The elastic strap, pressure pad and shell segments cooperate to apply adjustable dynamic forces to correct abnormal curvatures of the spine.
