Is a condition that has plasticity, and an aluminum plate is suitable for this. This is because when the cervical spine brace 10 is bent in accordance with the patient's neck, the state must be maintained.
In addition, those requiring a large force when bending are not suitable.

As long as the above function is fulfilled, it can be said that the strip 22 is preferably as small as possible. In this regard, any material having a width of about 30 mm, a length of about 200 mm, and a thickness of about 1 mm may be used. Also, the central part 12 of the surface of the cervical
Is dropped downward, so that the band plate 22 is also preferably shaped accordingly.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a mounted state of the cervical vertebral orthosis 10, which is usually used by being put in a cover 24. The cover 24 only needs to be breathable and stretchable, and is provided with fastening members 26 made of a hook-and-loop fastener or the like at both ends.

Keep it. At this time, in the case of the present invention, the state can be ensured by the band plate 22, so that the fitting to the neck is optimal. Further, the adjustment by the attachment 26 is also easy.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the cervical spine brace itself can be bent and fitted to the neck, and the state can be maintained.
For this reason, the optimal fit to the neck can be maintained forever. In addition, since a troublesome adjustment work or the like by engagement is not required, the mounting operation is easy and quick.
