?:definition
  • Cervical spine immobilizer orthoses incorporating posters designed for maximum restriction of movement and/or total immobilization of the cervical segment of the spine. These orthoses usually consist of rigid (prefabricated or, less frequently, custom-made) orthoses made of metal or hard plastic materials. The orthoses usually include two or four posters and several pads (e.g., mandibular, sternal, thoracic, occipital) that increase the rigidity of the structure. Poster style cervical spine immobilizers provide additional control of the head, neck, and cervical spine motion than other immobilizers; they are used for long-term care of patients after injuries or surgery.
