Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a bra using spinal muscle, scapular kinematics, and proprioception for pasture recovery, chest expansion, and thoracic mobility.
  • the bra is used for daily wear to improve and prevent progressive slouching, improve thoracic mobility post breast surgery, provide for support of large and dense breasts, and help with: activities of daily living (ADL); postsurgery shoulder recovery; occupation risk prevention; and athletic recovery, among many other industry and healthcare applications.
  • the multi-panel, multi-layered proprioceptive bra is uniquely designed to beter women’s health through the above described functionalities.
  • Posture correcting garments and bras are known and have been used for several years; primarily with a goal of stimulating body muscles into better alignment and posture resulting in a slight S- shape of the spine - the orthopedic gold standard for perfect spinal alignment.
  • the importance of having good posture is a well-known and a long-accepted priority among healthcare professionals and even nonexperts in die field.
  • Good posture is vital for overall health (prevention of back, shoulder, neck pain, etc.) and vital for athletic performance; as poor posture or form during dynamic athletic activities results in inefficient biomechanics and body movement.
  • Poor posture is typically observaiionally categorized by ‘shoulders rolled forward’,‘a forward curvature in the thoracic spine’, and/or a‘left or right lean of the thoracic spine.
  • inefficient body movement caused by poor posture prevents full utilization of skeleto-muscular range of motion and strength which commonly causes repetitive injury.
  • Typical treatment methods for those suffering from back, neck, and other pain include chiropractors, physical therapy, or orthopedic surgeon evaluation and possible treatment.
  • Such medical procedures to correct poor posture involve injections, medications, rehabilitation, and typically as a last resort - surgical correction.
  • Muscles devoted substantially to the concepts of balance and posture are sometimes referred to as gravity and antigravity muscles; they are the tools that provide upright organisms with the ability to maintain the center-of-gravity (COG) within a stable base of support. Upright balance is attained when a vertical line follows from the center-of-gravity, directly down through this base of support. Any imbalance will cause compensatory abnormalities which will affect alignment within the body’s whole musculoskeletal system. Optimized postural alignment is crucial in counteracting the constant downward gravitational forces opposing the body. When the upright force of musculoskeletal architecture and the downward force of gravity are balanced, muscles are able to function with the least amount of work, i.e. peak efficiency.
  • the so-called anti-gravity muscles assist to maintain an upright, balanced posture.
  • these muscles include the trapezius, the rhomboids, and several smaller groups around the shoulder such as the teres minor and subscapularis.
  • the cervical-occipital muscle groups maintain the head in an erect position, thereby preventing it from rolling forward.
  • bras currently on the market are very much like posture shirts and girdles, and they typically contain vertical straps that do not mimic natural anatomical movement.
  • One bra in particular, (Fenske) US20090126084 uses shoulder cap straps to grab the skin at the area of the pectoral muscles. While this may provide some form of posture correction, it does not do so in an anaiomically correct method, and despite claims of comfort, cannot be that comfortable, as multiple straps unnaturally pulling on your shoulders does not make for easy and daily wear.
  • vertical straps take the wrong approach to correcting a wearer’s posture - namely, the straps do not focus on proprioceptive correction to achieve biomechanically correct postural alignment but instead focus on force.
  • the vertical straps that most posture garments utilize end at the bottom of the buttocks, contributing to the unnatural pull that forces the shoulders back into an improper and unnatural position that does not mimic natural anatomical movement
  • the corresponding picture would be someone grabbing the bottom of one’s shirt from the back and pulling it downwards and tucking it underneath one’s glides; this would certainly force one’s shoulders back and straighten one's posture, but it would also align the posture in a constrained or compressive formation and prove to be uncomfortable, with poor compliance, and a challenge to wear at work or in occupation.
  • one shirt of this kind was made from a cotton body with elastic straps that were attached at the front of each shoulder, ran over the back parallel to the spine, and connected at the bottom seam. That same shirt was not only anatomically incorrect, it was also extremely tight (made from a Lycra Spandex material), thus not breathable and uncomfortable.
  • Known methods and systems include US20090062704 and US20110213283 directed to a shirt type garment made from a cotton body with elastic straps attached at the front of each shoulder and running over the back parallel to the spine and connected at a seam toward the bottom of the shin. These shins are made from a Lycra® Spandex® material with mesh and a woven stretch fabric. Similar systems utilize a Lycra® Spandex® combination material to provide structural stability, compression, and an athletic garment look. However, such material is not breathable. In order to effectively gain stability from and in the body for proprioception, and to correct posture imbalance; Lycra® Spandex® garments must be wom extremely tight to the body leading to discomfort.
  • the present invention differs from previous and current posture garments or devices in thai it utilizes natural dynamic (muscular) and static (scapular kinetics) combined proprioception to alter spinal biomechanics and scapular kinematics for posture restoration, upright stance restoration, and improved thoracic mobility.
  • An organism naturally uses proprioception to maintain an internal model of its body’s orientation in space, a sort of mental avatar representing the mind’s best guess as to how its physical limbs are moving.
  • the primary motor cortex signals the muscles to fire, it also emits an efference signal, also known as a corollary discharge.
  • This second signal has been hypothesized to suppress the subsequent firing of sensory cortex networks when they are inevitably stimulated by the aforementioned motor move enL
  • Therapeutically applied proprioception can be explained by intensifying and subsequently normalizing the afferent proprioceptive mobility-controlling input.
  • one form of the proprioceptive induction technique is the utilization of the posterior scapular straps/elastic tension band construct that re-aligns the scapulae from a protracted (forward) position to a retracted (horizontal) position.
  • a horizontal motion that moves the scapula towards the spine induces spinal extension and re-aligns the head on top of the spine. This natural movement induces erector spinal muscle activation (arching the spine), relaxation of the trapezius muscle, and posterior moving of the head to better align with the spine.
  • This method of postural correction is natural and sustainable because it alters both spinal and scapular biomechanics to recover a wearer’s posture and then passively influences the posture after it is corrected. This is achieved due to the natural tension that the scapular straps exert on the wearer’s scapulae, which retrains spinal and scapular muscles to ensure the wearer is in an upright posture and correct postural form without the force of a vertical strap constantly pulling over the shoulder and down to the buttock’s region.
