In our area of Northern VA, the term CLAMSHELL is used by physicians
as a synonym for a rigid body jacket spinal orthosis. I was simply
wondering if this is a regional term or if this term is used universally
throughout the US to describe spinal orthoses. Please chime in with the
yeah's and na's and note your state. Thanks!
