Compatibility of cervical spine braces with MR imaging: a study of nine nonferrous devices.
Several cervical spine braces and orthoses were evaluated for their compatibility with imaging in the MR scanner. Nine such devices were investigated: EXO cervical collar, Philadelphia collar, S.O.M.I. cervical orthosis, Guilford cervical orthosis, modified Guilford cervical orthosis, PMT halo cervical orthosis, modified PMT halo cervical orthosis, Bremer halo system, and Bremer MR-compatible h...
متن کاملThermoplastic Minerva body jacket--a practical alternative to current methods of cervical spine stabilization. A clinical report.
The halo body jacket and plaster Minerva body jacket have been the preferred orthoses when maximal stabilization of the cervical spine is required. This report identifies some disadvantages of these orthoses, introduces the thermoplastic Minerva body jacket (TMBJ), and discusses its advantages in the rehabilitation of patients with cervical spine instability. A preliminary roentgenographic stud...
متن کاملDo cervical collars and cervicothoracic orthoses effectively stabilize the injured cervical spine? A biomechanical investigation.
STUDY DESIGN In vitro biomechanical study. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine the effectiveness of cervical collars and cervicothoracic orthoses for stabilizing clinically relevant, experimentally produced cervical spine injuries. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Most previous in vitro studies of cervical orthoses used a simplified injury model with all ligaments transected at a single spin...
متن کاملCritical Review: The Effects of Cervical Bracing on Swallowing Branco, C. M.Cl.Sc. (SLP) Candidate School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, U.W.O. This critical review focused on examining the effects of cervical bracing on swallowing
Cervical orthoses are used to immobilize the cervical spine (Schneider et al., 2007) while treating a range of neck impairments from muscle spasm to serious instability (Johnson et al., 1977; Johnson et al., 1981), such as after cervical spine surgery (Schneider et al., 2007) and spinal cord injury (Johnson et al., 1981; Stambolis et al., 2003). There are many different cervical orthoses availa...
متن کاملEffects of rigid and soft foot orthoses on dynamic balance in females with flatfoot
Abstract Background: Various types of foot orthoses are prescribed for people with flatfoot. It has been reported that orthoses not only improve the biomechanics of the lower limb, but also have good effects on some balance parameters in these subjects. It is hypothesized that the latter effect is dependent on the rigidity of the orthoses. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the ...
