Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods of correction of spinal deformity that overcome current limitations by utilizing a dynamic, multi-segment torso orthosis that allows motion during wear. The disclosed embodiments utilize a series of elastically coupled segments that conform to the circumference of the torso of a patient. Adjustable elastic coupling mechanisms are utilized to create and alter forces and moments that are applied to the torso through the segments. These elastic coupling mechanisms also allow each circumferential segment to move relative to the other segments giving the brace dynamic capability.

Claim (Index 14):
A method as in  claim 11 , wherein each coupling mechanism comprises:\n a bearing mount; an axle secured on opposing ends to the bearing mount; and an adjustable fixator that allows said axle to be rotated for adjustment and fixated at a specific position thereby allowing a fixed positioning of said elastic member with respect to the drive unit; wherein the attached end of said elastic member is connected to the axle such that the elastic member is oriented perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the axle.
