ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic brace for correction of spinal deformities is constructed forming a three dimensional space structure having a rigid pelvic band encompassing the hip portion of the pelvic region of the wearer. A pair of vertical posterior paraspinal upright members conforming to and following the general curvature of the back of the wearer at a nearly constant distance is secured at their lower ends to the pelvic band and an anterior vertical upright member conforming in general to the curvature of the chest of the wearer is secured to its lower end to the pelvic band. A sternal cross bar is fixedly secured to the upper end of the anterior upright member and a scapular cross bar is fixedly secured to the upper ends of the pair of posterior paraspinal upright members. A pair of curved shoulder bars, amply spaced from the shoulders, serve as a structural link between the sternal and scapular cross bars. A pair of flexible iliac crest members (segments) are securely fastened to an anterior (gusset type) closure plate at one end and to a posterior band at the other end. The anterior closure plate is attached to the anterior upright while the posterior band spaces and connects the posterior paraspinal uprights.
