Abstract

The disclosure relates to a brace, methods of preparation, and methods of using the brace. The brace comprises a plurality of first helix structures and a plurality of second helix structures. Each first helix winds in a first direction from a proximal end to a distal end, conforming to a contour of an object. Each second helix winds in a second direction from the proximal end to the distal end, also conforming to the contour of the object. Each first helix of the plurality of first helix structures is rotatably coupled to a corresponding second helix of the plurality of second helix structures, forming a helix pair. The first direction of the plurality of first helix structures opposes the second direction of the plurality of second helix structures.
