Zusammenfassung:	Improved methods and systems are disclosed for a physiotherapeutic device having a waist tensioning system and a spine support system that may enable correction and/or maintaining of postural stance for individuals suffering from poor posture and/or neurodegenerative disease. The physiotherapeutic device includes a tensioner mechanism. Waist straps attached to the lumbar expansion portion may be configured to be routed through the anchor and wrapped around the vest when the user wears the device. The device also includes shoulder straps, each having a first end attached to a top, rear portion of the vest and a second end attached to the central member. The physiotherapeutic device may be outfitted with sensors to detect statuses and symptoms relevant to the patient and caregiver and to provide reporting and feedback to both the patient and caregiver.
