    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Biomechanical Analysis of Medical Devices

    Background:

    • A wide array of cervical orthoses exist, broadly categorized into four main groups.
    • Each orthotic group offers comparable motion control, yet individual devices possess unique benefits and drawbacks.

    Observation:

    • The study evaluated the efficacy of seven distinct cervical appliances.
    • Motion restriction was assessed across flexion-extension, lateral bending, and rotation.

    Findings:

    • Comparative analysis reveals varying degrees of effectiveness among the seven cervical orthoses.
    • Specific appliances demonstrate discrete advantages and limitations in controlling cervical spine motion.

    Implications:

    • Provides evidence-based data to guide the rational selection of cervical orthoses.
