Orthopedic garment for dynamically enhancing proper posture

An orthopedic method for dynamically enhancing proper posture of a patient, comprising the steps of:

• applying to the patient an elastic base-garment comprising left and right trapezius-draping portions, a waist band, and intermediary material for extending between and operatively interconnecting the trapezius-draping portions and the waist band;
• providing at least the waist band with hook-fastener securing areas;
• providing the intermediary material with a dorsal span;
• attaching a pair of diagonally-crossing casements to the dorsal span, the casements extending between catercorner exits including upper exits at or below the trapezius-draping portions and lower exits at or above the waist band;
• providing a pair of elastic halters which have one and another tag ends, and providing at least the other tag end with hook fasteners;
• pairing the halters with the casements and feeding the halters therethrough;
• coupling the halters to the base garment such that one halter's one end is attached to an origin on the front of the right trapezius-draping portion as said one halter's other end having the hook-fasteners is secured to a termination on the waist band either at the left side or over the abdomen, by a course stretching over the patient's trapezius and then diagonally across the patient's back to around the patient's left side, as the other halter's one end is attached to an origin on the front of the left trapezius-draping portion as said other halter's other end having the hook-fasteners is secured to another termination on the waist band either at the right side or over the abdomen, by a course stretching over the patient's trapezius and then diagonally across the patient's back to around the patient's right side;
• wherein the halters provide diagonally-crossing filaments of tension across the patient's back in order to oppose slouching and thereby enhance proper erect posture, as the casements afford dynamic maintenance of the courses of the halters despite such contortions as concurrent twisting and sideways bending.

• providing the trapezius-draping portions and waist band with hook-fastener securing areas;
• providing a pair of elastic halters with hook-fastener tag ends;
• securing the halter's hook fasteners to the base garment's hook-fastener securing areas to have the halters crossing diagonally across the patient's back, such that one halter supplies tension between an origin on the front of the right trapezius-draping portion and a termination on the waist band either on the left side or over the abdomen, by a course arching over behind the right shoulder and then diagonally across the patient's back to around the patient's left side, as the other halter supplies tension between an origin on the front of the left trapezius-draping portion and another termination on the waist band either on the right side or over the abdomen, by a course arching over behind the left shoulder and then diagonally across the patient's back to around the patient's right side;
• providing the intermediary material with a dorsal span;
• providing halter-stationing means for stationing the intersection where the halters cross in the back to a given station on the dorsal span;
• wherein the halters provide diagonally-crossing filaments of tension across the patient's back in order to oppose slouching and thereby enhance proper erect posture, as the halter-stationing means affords maintenance of the courses of the halters despite such contortions as concurrent twisting and sideways bending.
