A head stabilization device includes a stabilization assembly and an applicator to control an amount of force applied by a stabilization feature to a patient's head. The applicator includes a torque control feature that ensures that a desired torque setting is not exceeded during use. The applicator may be detached from the remainder of the system such that the head stabilization device may be used without connected torque control features or structures. In one variation, the applicator controls the torque by adjusting the bending length of a pair of arms extending within the applicator. 一种头部稳定装置包括稳定组件和施加器，以控制稳定特征施加到患者头部的力的量。施加器包括扭矩控制特征，该扭矩控制特征确保在使用期间不超过期望的扭矩设定。施加器可以从系统的其余部分分离，使得头稳定装置可以在没有连接的扭矩控制特征或结构的情况下使用。在一个变型中，施加器通过调整在施加器内延伸的一对臂的弯曲长度来控制扭矩。
