PDC Cervical Orthosis with Variable Fixation

The PDC Cervical Orthosis with Variable Fixation is a physiotherapeutic dynamic brace providing both bilateral and unilateral immobilization of the cervical spine. Based on the concept of early functional treatment, the PDC minimizes painful restrictions while encouraging free movement. Crucially, it allows unrestricted access to the front of the neck, making it suitable for patients with enlarged thyroid glands or tracheostomies.

Comfort and Breathability

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

Indications

• Cervical disc degeneration
• Ligament injuries (sprains)
• Post-operative recovery
• Muscle torticollis (wry neck)

Unilateral Mobility

The PDC’s modular design enables unilateral mobilization. For example, if movement to the right is restricted, exercises can be performed on the left side after removing a modular insert. This immobilizes the affected side while preventing muscle dystrophy on the healthy side. A set of specific physiotherapy exercises is included in the instruction manual.

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) using the provided size chart.

Application

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).
