An orthosis for the treatment of congenital, developmental and degenerative spinal deformities or misalignments, including an upper thoracic component adapted to cover part or the whole thorax and made in non-elastic material, a pelvic component adapted to encircle the pelvis and made in elastic-material and reinforced with non-elastic materials, a non-elastic strapping system adapted to encircle the pelvis transversely and providing a stable fitting, resistant to transverse plane rotations and proximal migration, and at least four removable, corrective elastic bands running obliquely around part or all of the body circumference and attach from the thoracic component (right shoulder, left shoulder, right distal thorax, left distal thorax) to posterior-lateral and/or anterior sections of the pelvic component.

1. An orthosis (100) for the treatment of congenital, developmental and degenerative spinal deformities or misalignments in a patient, comprising a thoracic Bolero component attached to a pelvic shorts component, wherein (i) said thoracic Bolero component (101) is adapted, in use, to cover the patie
1. An orthosis (100) for the treatment of congenital, developmental and degenerative spinal deformities or misalignments in a patient, comprising a thoracic Bolero component attached to a pelvic shorts component, wherein (i) said thoracic Bolero component (101) is adapted, in use, to cover the patient's shoulders and shoulder blade area and is made of non-elastic material,(ii) the pelvic shorts component (110) adapted, in use, to encircle the patient's pelvis and made of elastic-material and reinforced with non-elastic materials,(iii) a non-elastic strapping system adapted, in use, to encircle the patient's pelvis transversely as a pelvic band (111, 112, 113, 114) attached to the pelvic shorts component (110) and providing a stable fitting, resistant to transverse plane rotations and proximal migration, and(iv) a minimum of four removable, corrective elastic bands (130, 130(2)A, 130(3)A, 130(4)A) adapted, in use, to run obliquely around part or all of the circumference of the patient's torso and each of said bands has a first end connected directly to said thoracic Bolero component (101) and each of said bands has a second end connected directly to said pelvic band, said corrective bands being adapted, in use, in tension and fastening position according to the specific movement required, to be applied to a segment of the torso involved in order to correct the deformity, relieve pain, improve posture and prevent progression of the deformity. 2. An orthosis as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pelvic shorts component (110) is made of an elastic material available in sizes from 20″ to 50″, but allows said pelvic band (111, 112, 113, 114) to be tensioned sufficiently to provide a stable anchorage for said pelvic band (111, 112, 113, 114). 3. An orthosis (100) as claimed in claim 1, made entirely of elastic and non-elastic materials. 4. An orthosis as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pelvic shorts component (110) acts as a carrier for said pelvic band (111, 112, 113, 114). 5. An orthosis as claimed in claim 1, wherein the corrective elastic bands are configured to produce a three-dimensional effect on the torso in relation to the pelvis within a sagittal plane, a frontal plane and a transverse plane of the torso. 6. The orthosis as claimed in claim 5, wherein in producing the three-dimensional effect on the torso, the orthosis changes the alignment of the spine within the sagittal plane, the frontal plane and the transverse horizontal plane of the torso. 7. The orthosis as claimed in claim 1, wherein the orthosis is configured to produce change in a sagittal plane, a frontal plane and a transverse plane of the torso. 8. The orthosis as claimed in claim 1, wherein the orthosis is configured to produce dynamic forces to produce change in postural alignment whilst still allowing near total mobility of the patient's body.
