ABSTRACT:
A back brace apparatus is disclosed which has electromechanical mechanism for tightening a brace around the trunk of a patient to a desired tension. The electromechanical mechanism is controllable by the patient to effect predetermined tension settings. A cable and pulley arrangement tightened by a motor provides a mechanical advantage so that the brace may be tightened by a small motor. A microprocessor controls the motor to obtain the desired repeatable tension settings.
