To design and fabricate a multi adjustable cervical brace that must hold the head in correct position and provide corrective force to correct the deformity. In this design the orthotic design by pneumatic system technology to offer superior comfort, functionality, and therapeutic efficacy. An attached air pocket with cervical brace inflated to a specific pressure valve in order to apply the necessary corrective thrust in that specific area of neck and head. Patient will be able to wear the device for a longer period for using day time as well as night time for correction of the deformity.
Keywords: Torticollis, Pneumatic, Air bag, Night bracing.
