#$%^&*AU2015202914B220170309.pdf#####ABSTRACT A neck support apparatus (10) allows freedom of movement of the head (13) of the user (11), other than limiting forward flexion by resisting forward tilting of the head beyond a predetermined point. The neck support apparatus (10) comprises a base portion (21) for positioning on the torso (18) of the user (11) and a support portion (23) extending from the base portion and having a rest (25) upon which the mandible (17)) of the user (11) can rest when the head (13) of the user is at the forwardmost tilted position. The support portion (23) further comprises two struts (31) which are mounted on the base portion (21) and on which the rest (25) is mounted. The base portion (21) a yoke structure (51) having two limb portions (53) and a bridge portion (55) extending between the two limb portions at common ends thereof. The free ends (57) of the two limb portions (53) define an opening (59) through which the neck (14) of the user (11) can be received to allow positioning of the yoke structure 51 on the user. The two limb portions (53) define rails (61) with respect to which the struts (31) are selectively moveable.5/29 113 14 55 51 16 53 31 57 Fig. 8 21
