Calibrace+

PROBLEM

Parkinson's patients suffering with severe postural instability do not have access to a posture-correcting device that is comfortable, inconspicuous, and unobtrusive to their daily activities.

DESIRED OUTCOME

A product that corrects Camptocormia (bent spine syndrome) without causing discomfort or obstructing range of motion.

SOLUTION

A posture-correcting device (worn beneath clothing) with a unique tensioning system that maintains shoulder and spinal alignment, retrains muscle memory, and improves range of motion (provisional patent with utility patent pending).

The final prototype for the patented Calibrace+ that was designed to improve the quality of life for Parkinson's patients living with Camptocormia (the severe postural instability caused by Parkinson's disease).
