Aspen Vista Cervical Collar, 2-Piece Rigid Neck Brace for Restricting Cervical Motion, 984000

Product Information

The collar will have supported you up until this point and slumping will cause additional strain on your muscles. Flexion/extension and rotational movements of the cervical spine were more effectively restricted than lateral bending movements by all collars. Product Description:The Aspen Collar is built around functionality and support for improved comfort. The cervical collar will encourage correct spinal alignment and aim to prevent the development of potential further problems. A one-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey post hoc comparison test was used to compare the ranges of movement and percentage restriction in movement between the different collars.

Wearing the collar will likely cause weakness to the muscles supporting your head, as the collar has been doing this work, when you no longer require the collar, we would advise this is gradually removed. Collar can also be used for other reasons than just a fracture like post-operatively and in a small number of cases comfort. The markers on each cluster were orientated and positioned such that the geometric centre of each cluster within a global coordinate system could be determined.You can translate this page by using the headphones button (bottom left) and then select the globe to change the language of the page.

This model provides cervical motion restriction without producing painful pressure points for enhanced patient compliance. Our braces require a prescription from a physician and only licensed healthcare practitioners are authorized to purchase. Aspen Cervical Collars is designed to help minimize skin breakdown while providing motion restriction. If you experience any continuing weakness or a limited ability to move your neck, a physiotherapy review might be of benefit.If you are allowed to take the collar off for washing, take the opportunity to check the skin for any areas of pressure. The Aspen Vista was the least effective collar at restricting movement in all three planes through physiological ranges. Movements in the sagittal, transverse and coronal planes were restricted by the application of a collar ( p < 0.

For ultimate comfort, all of the collar’s contact surfaces are cushioned with cotton-lined, breathable foam padding.

Eight ProReflex (Qualisys, Sweden) infrared cameras were used to track the movement of retro-reflective marker clusters placed in predetermined positions on the head and trunk. Drive – your collar will restrict your field of vision, and you will not be covered by the DVLA or your insurance company. Always use a correct lifting technique, bending at the knees and not at your back (see diagram below). If your injury were a cervical spine fracture, you may find that the pain worsens initially, but you should experience a gradual improvement over the next 6-8 weeks.

Aspen Cervical Collars are designed to optimize support and comfort, two key components for better patient outcomes. Collar structure spreads contact over a large surface area to minimize skin breakdown - eliminates "hot spots". This study demonstrates that the effectiveness of the Aspen collar in restricting physiological ranges of movement was superior to the other collars, with the Philadelphia collar also performing well.A good firm support is usually desirable; a mattress that is too soft will provide you with little support. You will be given advice for this and we recommend you decrease the time spent in the collar daily over a few days. Many patients regain the movement in their neck through natural recovery and gentle movement throughout the day. Motion analysis systems allow spinal movement to be measured in three dimensions but only a few studies have utilised this technology to compare the effectiveness of cervical orthoses at restricting motion [ 1, 2, 5, 6]. Ask the assistant to change the pads of the back panel and clean / check the skin at the back of the neck – (use mirror to help, if required).
