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

Product Information

This model provides cervical motion restriction without producing painful pressure points for enhanced patient compliance. However, when you no longer require your collar you will be advised to gradually remove it and you will be provided with an exercise program to strengthen your muscles again. At your appointment, a clinician will assess your symptoms and discuss with you your continuing treatment plan for your care and whether a face-to-face appointment or further imaging is required. Wearing a cervical hard collar can cause the skin underneath to become hot and excessively sweaty, which can lead to skin breakdown from moisture damage. An experienced healthcare professional will measure and fit you into the most suitable collar for your shape and size.

Collar can also be used for other reasons than just a fracture like post-operatively and in a small number of cases comfort.

A sample size of nineteen was used for the study, although not large, it was comparable to the sample sizes used in similar studies in the published literature [ 1, 3, 4]. The physiological range of motion in the three planes was analysed using the Qualisys Track Manager System. With the head at a neutral position (looking straight ahead), place a ruler or a book next to the side of the ear noting where it rests below around the neck area (upper Trapezius according to the instructions below). The collar should be positioned central to the patients head with secure and comfortable fit to ensure adequate motion restriction.

The results from this study demonstrate that flexion/extension and rotational movements were more effectively restricted than lateral bending movements in all collars.

Wearing a collar may cause some weakness of the muscles around your neck, as the collar will essentially be doing some of the work of these muscles. If you are allowed to take the collar off for washing, take the opportunity to check the skin for any areas of pressure. You may feel stiff initially in the affected part of the neck when you start to wean the use of your collar.
