Description

The PDC Physiotherapeutic Dynamic Cervical Orthosis offers both bilateral and unilateral immobilization of the cervical spine, based on the concept of early functional treatment. It minimizes painful limitations of neck movement while encouraging controlled mobility. Special attention has been paid to providing unrestricted access to the front of the neck, making it suitable for patients with an enlarged thyroid gland or tracheostomy.

The frameless design and breathable, porous materials ensure comfortable wear.

Indications

• Degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine
• Ligament injuries (sprains)
• Post-operative recovery
• Muscle torticollis (wry neck)

Unilateral Mobility

The modular design of the PDC allows for unilateral mobilization of neck muscles. For example, if movement to the right is restricted, exercises can be performed on the left side after removing the modular insert. This immobilizes the affected side while preventing muscle dystrophy on the healthy side.

Adjusting for Unilateral Mobility

1. Move the orthosis cover to one side.
2. Using a screwdriver, remove the oval plastic module (secured by four clips) from the orthosis frame.
3. Straighten the orthosis cover.

Sizing

Select both size and height (12cm or 14cm). Refer to the size chart for guidance.

Applying the Orthosis

1. Place the orthosis around your neck with the arrow on the fastener pointing upwards.
2. Secure the orthosis using the Velcro fastener, ensuring a comfortable fit (not too tight or too loose).

Composition

47% polyurethane, 19% cotton, 19% polycarbonate, 12% polyethylene, 3% polyamide.
