What is SOMI brace?
Answer:
"SOMI" stands for Sternal Occipital Mandibular Immobilizer, and that's exactly what it does, immobilizes. The SOMI consists of a "Y" shaped chest piece, a leader piece and a chin piece and is made entirely out of aluminum and stainless steel. A SOMI Brace is one of the most popular cervical neck braces used today when rigid immobilization is required. The SOMI brace holds your d¨Ścolletage in a straight splash with your spine by providing a rigid support to the unstable and ineffectual muscles and bones of your neck. The SOMI brace prevents movement such as bending and twisting your d¨Ścolletage and protects your neck from injury as it heal. Braces are fitted to a body region to provide support, correct deformities, and prevent specific amalgamated and body movement.
SOMI is an abbreviation for sterno-occipital-mandibular immobilizer. S = sterno (upper and midchest), O = occipital (base of skull), M = mandibular (chin and jaw), I = immobilizer (gives support and prevents movement of body parts).
