Spinal orthosis
First Claim
1. An orthosis (100) for the treatment of congenital, developmental and degenerative spinal deformities or misalignments in a patient, comprising a thoracic Bolero component attached to a pelvic shorts component, wherein(i) said thoracic Bolero component (101) is adapted, in use, to cover the patient'"'"'s shoulders and shoulder blade area and is made of non-elastic material,(ii) the pelvic shorts component (110) adapted, in use, to encircle the patient'"'"'s pelvis and made of elastic-material and reinforced with non-elastic materials,(iii) a non-elastic strapping system adapted, in use, to encircle the patient'"'"'s pelvis transversely as a pelvic band (111, 112, 113, 114) attached to the pelvic shorts component (110) and providing a stable fitting, resistant to transverse plane rotations and proximal migration, and(iv) a minimum of four removable, corrective elastic bands (130, 130(2)A, 130(3)A, 130(4)A) adapted, in use, to run obliquely around part or all of the circumference of the patient'"'"'s torso and each of said bands has a first end connected directly to said thoracic Bolero component (101) and each of said bands has a second end connected directly to said pelvic band, said corrective bands being adapted, in use, in tension and fastening position according to the specific movement required, to be applied to a segment of the torso involved in order to correct the deformity, relieve pain, improve posture and prevent progression of the deformity.

Abstract
An orthosis for the treatment of congenital, developmental and degenerative spinal deformities or misalignments, including an upper thoracic component adapted to cover part or the whole thorax and made in non-elastic material, a pelvic component adapted to encircle the pelvis and made in elastic-material and reinforced with non-elastic materials, a non-elastic strapping system adapted to encircle the pelvis transversely and providing a stable fitting, resistant to transverse plane rotations and proximal migration, and at least four removable, corrective elastic bands running obliquely around part or all of the body circumference and attach from the thoracic component (right shoulder, left shoulder, right distal thorax, left distal thorax) to posterior-lateral and/or anterior sections of the pelvic component.
