Pediatric Cervical Orthosis with Variable Fixation PDC

Description:

The PDC Physiotherapeutic Dynamic Cervical Orthosis provides both bilateral and unilateral immobilization of the cervical spine. Designed based on the concept of early functional treatment, the PDC minimizes painful limitations in neck mobility while promoting free movement where possible. Special attention was paid to ensuring unobstructed access to the front of the neck, making it suitable for patients with enlarged thyroid glands or tracheostomies. Its frameless construction and breathable, porous materials ensure comfortable wear.

Indications:

• Cervical intervertebral disc degeneration
• Ligament injuries (sprains)
• Post-operative recovery
• Muscular torticollis

Unilateral Mobility:

The PDC’s modular design 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.

Modifying the Orthosis 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:

Neck circumference: 25-32 cm (9.8-12.6 inches). Height options: 6 cm and 9 cm (2.4 and 3.5 inches). For neck circumferences exceeding 32 cm, please see the adult size.

Application:

Place the orthosis on the neck with the arrow on the fastener pointing upwards. Secure the orthosis using the Velcro fastener ensuring a comfortable fit (neither too tight nor too loose).
