  Low profile neck ring orthosis - Patent 4648390   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Typical of such braces is the so-named Milwaukee brace which consists of a lower torso-encircling girdle composed of molded plastic, leather, or relatively rigid light-weight material which fastens about the body to anchor and support a plurality of rigid metal bars which extend upwardly to the neck and head area of the wearer.
As an example, a corrective body brace having a low profile neck ring attachment may employ pads which apply pressure against the left hip, right rear rib cage, and left side of the neck to create a three-point corrective force to counter a left curvature of the spine of the wearer.
The exact placement of pressure-applying pads would be determined during fitting of the body brace on the particular patient by the orthodist or orthopedic technician, depending upon the particular condition of the patient to be treated.
