ABSTRACT:
A low profile neck ring for attachment to supporting structure of an orthopedic body brace employed to treat curvature of the spine comprising a resiliently deformable unitary collar plate for closely surrounding the lower neck portion of a wearer, the plate having an anterior yoke portion for overlying the sternum of the wearer and unitarily interconnecting a pair of elongate web portions having a lateral width substantially greater than the thickness of the plate, the web portions initially extending upwardly and rearwardly of the yoke portion to overlie the clavicle areas on either side of the neck of the wearer and having further posterior web portions extending downwardly and terminating in abutting relation to overlie the area of the spine adjacent the scapula of the wearer. Releasable fastening means rigidly interconnect the abutting end portions of the web portions of the collar plate to prevent their relative movement, and means on the yoke portion of the plate and on each posterior end portion of the web portion of the collar plate rigidly interconnect the neck ring to the upstanding support bars of a body brace. The unitary collar plate is preferably formed of rigid plastic material and is of sufficient lateral width in its web portions to resist displacement in use on the body brace.
