Abstract: An automated orthotic device with a treatment regimen and a method for using an automated orthotic device with a treatment regimen to provide a plurality of prescribed tension settings. The orthotic device may comprise a body brace, a controller, a data storage means, and a communication means to address the problem of patients being required to visit the physician's office every time an adjustment must be made in the prescribed tension setting in their automated orthotic device. In one embodiment, a plurality of prescribed tension settings in the automated orthotic device are sorted so that as the patient's condition improves, the next prescribed tension setting in the treatment regimen may be applied. In another embodiment, the physician is allowed to edit or supplement a patient's treatment regimen remotely by connecting to the automated orthotic device over a network.

Abstract: Described herein is an adjustable length orthotic device and a method for adjusting the length of said orthotic device. The adjustable length orthotic device can comprise a center brace segment having first and second pockets, and first and second end pieces for inserting into the first and second pockets, respectively. The subject invention addresses the problem of a patient being unable to adjust the length of his or her orthotic device in response to changes in the patient's size. The subject invention also addresses the problem of prior art adjustable length orthotic devices that are either overly complicated and cumbersome or have securing means on the outside of the brace that may snag on foreign objects, causing the brace to become undone or causing further injury to the patient. In one embodiment, the length of the orthotic device is adjusted by securing the two end segments inside the two pockets.
