Abstract
In some embodiments, a system and/or method may include an external spinal brace system. The system may include a plurality of support mechanisms including at least first and second support mechanisms. The first support mechanism may be coupled, during use, to the second support mechanism such that the first and second support mechanisms are inhibited from decoupling. In some embodiments, the system may include a coupling system. The coupling system may couple the plurality of support mechanisms to a subject such that the plurality of support mechanisms are positioned, during use, along at least a portion of the subject's spine. In some embodiments, the external brace system applies a posterior distraction force to the subject.
Claims1
An external spinal brace system, comprising:
- a plurality of support mechanisms, comprising:
- a first support mechanism;
- and
- a second support mechanism, wherein the first support mechanism is couplable, during use, to the second support mechanism such that the first and second support mechanisms are inhibited, during use, from decoupling;
- a coupling system coupling the plurality of support mechanisms to a subject such that the plurality of support mechanisms are positioned, during use, along at least a portion of the subject's spine such that the external brace system applies a posterior distraction force to the subject.
