We developed a cervical collar (the Canadian collar) in response to the requirements of occupational therapists who manage arthritis patients. This orthosis overcomes the problems of heat and inadequate support common to many soft collars. The collar is constructed from nylon and polyvinyl chloride tubing, clipped together by nylon junctions, and from chin and breastplate supports of molded nylon rod. Preliminary clinical trials have been conducted on 20 patients, 15 of whom had arthritis. An additional 60 patients with various disabilities have been fitted. The collar has been readily accepted by patients, therapists, orthotists, and physicians.
应治疗关节炎患者的职业治疗师的要求，我们研发了一种颈托（加拿大颈托）。这种矫形器克服了许多软颈托常见的发热和支撑不足问题。该颈托由尼龙和聚氯乙烯管制成，通过尼龙接头夹在一起，并配有模制尼龙杆的下巴和胸板支撑。已对20名患者进行了初步临床试验，其中15人患有关节炎。另外60名患有各种残疾的患者也已佩戴。该颈托已被患者、治疗师、矫形师和医生欣然接受。
