COP High Quality Fabric Milwaukee Brace, Feature : Ultimate Level

A milwaukee brace is used in treatment of postural disorders like idiopathic scoliosis (spinal curvatures). Milwaukee brace consists of a neck ring with a throat mould and two occipital pads to avoid a high pressure in the neck.

The thoracic pad, neck ring and the pelvic girdle comprise the three point holding principle of the bracethe pelvic girdle stabilizes the pelvis, that’s why the girdle must fit perfectly. It also keeps the pelvis in a posterior tilt position, decreasing the lumbar lordosis. The throat mould is placed just under the chin. If it fits well, it doesn’t touch the mandible. It’s aim is to remind the patient to retract the chin and to keep the head posteriorly against the occipital pads. The action of the pelvic girdle and the throat mould together keeps the head centered over the pelvis.
