Osaka Medical College (OMC) brace. The OMC brace simply consists of a pelvic girdle, an upright bar, a high thoracic pad, and two straps. A pelvic girdle facilitates correction of a main thoracic curve. An upright bar with a high thoracic pad can correct a proximal thoracic curve utilizing righting reflex produced by patients' own response. Anterior and posterior straps prevent the body moving away from the brace during forward and backward bending motion.
