Abstract:
A posture alignment system improves posture by posture modification and spinal alignment. A back plate for positioning along a user's back provides a rigid structural foundation from approximately the user's head down vertically to at least to the user's hip region. A separation plate hingedly couples to the posture alignment system. A spinal mold  20  mechanism includes a spinal mold  20  positioned on the spinal mold  20  plate and has a length equal to at least approximately the length of the user's spine for interfacing and providing posture modifying support and alignment force to the user's spine. The spinal mold  20  includes posture alignment guide rails for guiding posture modification and spinal alignment according to a posture alignment goal. A pneumatic force generating mechanism controllably generates pneumatic force for forcibly and controllably interfacing the spinal mold  20  mechanism and the neck aligning mechanism with the user's spine and neck, and, thereby guide posture modification and spinal alignment of the user according to the posture alignment goal.

Claim (Index 1):
A posture alignment system for improving the posture of a user by posture modification and spinal alignment according to a predetermined posture alignment goal, comprising:\n a back plate for positioning said posture alignment system along a user's back and in alignment with the spine when the user is standing, said back plate providing a rigid structural foundation extending from approximately the user's head down vertically to at least to the user's hip region; a separation plate hingedly coupled to said posture alignment system at a position near the user's hip region when positioning said posture alignment system along the user's back, said separation plate having a length approximately the length of said back plate and positionable in parallel with said back plate and further for forming a first variable wedge space from said back plate upon being pivoted at said hinged coupling; a spinal mold  20  mechanism having a length approximately equivalent to that of and positioned in parallel with said separation plate, said spinal mold  20  mechanism being hingedly coupled to said posture alignment system near the user's hip region when positioning said posture alignment system along the user's back, said spinal mold  20  mechanism further comprising:\n a spinal mold  20  positioned on said spinal mold  20  plate and having a length equal to at least approximately the length of the user's spine for interfacing and providing posture modifying support and alignment force to the user's spine, said spinal mold  20  comprising a posture alignment guide rails for guiding posture modification and spinal alignment according to a posture alignment goal; and \n a spinal mold  20  plate for providing structural support and foundation for said spinal mold  20  and for forming a second variable wedged space from said separation plate upon being pivoted at said hinged coupling; and \n a neck aligning mechanism on said posture alignment system and positioned to be above said spinal mold  20  when positioning said posture alignment system along the user's back for aligning the position of the user's neck with the user's spine, as said posture alignment guide rails guide said posture modification and spinal alignment; a user harnessing mechanism for harnessing said posture alignment system to the user, further comprising\n a head harnessing mechanism further comprising at least one head harness for firmly harnessing the user's head and a tether harness for firmly connecting set head harness to said back plate; \n a shoulder harness mechanism comprising at least one harness for each shoulder of the user for firmly harnessing the user's shoulders to said spinal mold  20  mechanism; and \n a hip harness for harnessing the user's hips to said posture alignment system; and \n a pneumatic force generating mechanism for associating said back plate, said separation plate, and said spinal mold  20  mechanism for controllably generating pneumatic force at said spinal mold  20  back plate for transmission through said user harnessing mechanism for forcibly and controllably interfacing said spinal mold  20  mechanism and said neck aligning mechanism with the user's spine and neck, and, thereby guide posture modification and spinal alignment of the user according to said posture alignment goal.
