A therapeutic device for neck pain

摘要

A therapeutic device (1) comprises a body (2) with a shoulder -engaging part (12) and a chest-engaging part (11) and , elevated pivot supports (12) extending upwardly from the shoulder-engaging part (12) at locations to be on opposed sides of a patient's head in use. A head support (3) with a chin cradle (35) is pivotally connected by pivot joints (20) to the pivot supports (12). Torsion springs (24) bias the head support (3) upwardly. Sensors wirelessly provide data to a processor such as a smartphone so that the extent of movement of the head support can be monitored.
