Abstract
An orthopedic neck brace has right and left sliding pivots that couple a torso rest with a chin support. Over a wide range from relatively long necks to relatively short necks, the sliding pivots tend to raise and lower the chin piece vertically, which automatically keeps the chin support at a right angle to the rest of the brace, and prevent undesirable sagittal offsets. Preferred embodiments combine the sliding pivots with a rack and pinion neck height adjustment mechanism.
