?:definition
  • Spine orthoses designed for external modification of the structural and/or functional characteristics of the cervical and thoracic (trunk) segments of the spine, providing immobilization, motion control, and/or support to the structure. Cervicothoracic spine orthoses usually consist of rigid (e.g., metallic, hard plastic) orthoses that can provide immobilization of the cervicothoracic segment of the spine. The orthoses are intended mainly to reduce pain and to provide motion control or complete immobilization of the cervicothoracic segment of the spine; they may be used for rehabilitation after injury or trauma (e.g., lower cervical and upper thoracic fractures).
