The use of this simple apparatusgives much satisfaction (Fig. 1021). In high dorsal disease a jury-mastmay be attached to this splint and extension upon the head secured (). Treatment upon the tubular frame of Bradford (see Vol. I, page 666)is most in favor in America. The frame should be about 10 cm. (4 inches)longer than the child. The width of the frame should correspond to the distance between thetwo shoulder joints. The covering of the frame should be tight.
