I was asked to post responses by several.
Original question: Does anyone know who C-fabs a torticollis orthosis like Fillauer used to make? Cranial helmet attached to as thoracic orthosis with a telescoping hinge?
Answer: Orthomerica does fabricate the device I was looking for. They prefer a cast of the torso with cranium attached if possible. Fillauer has the hinge assembly. Speak to Dan Ellis at Orthomerica if questions.
It should be noted that most cases of torticollis are correctable with therapy. I have only needed this orthosis 2-3 times in the past 20 years.
Thank you,
