Functional orthosis post pectoralis muscle rupture

This author described her success at fabricating a chest compression orthosis for a patient who underwent repair of a pectoralis major muscle rupture. The repair occurred nine months prior to orthotic fabrication, but the patient continued to experience weakness and pain which limited motion. The design of the orthotic allowed him increased mobility and functional use. – Victoria Priganc, PhD, OTR, CHT, CLT, Practice Forum Editor
