Our hyperextension orthosis supports healing of fractures in the area of the lower thoracic spine and lumbar spine. These fractures are usually the result of contusions and compression, mainly in car accidents or during sports. The hyperextension orthosis 28R14 has been used successfully in therapy for years. It is also used in case of vertebral body fractures due to osteoporosis.
The way the orthosis works is simple and effective: Pressure pads along the lumbar spine, the sternum, and the pubic bone straighten and stabilize your spine. This special three point system relieves the anterior spinal vertebrae and simultaneously stabilizes your spinal column. Your pain is relieved. You can continue to lean sideways and twist your upper body.
Your doctor will establish a suitable therapy plan for you. Your orthopaedic technician will adjust the orthosis for you. He or she will first take your body measurements and select a modular kit of the corresponding size. The orthosis is adapted while you are lying down. Your technician or your doctor then verifies the pressure, placement, and fit of the three pressure pads and the correct positioning of the hyperextension orthosis once more.
The hyperextension orthosis 28R14 is water-resistant, allowing you to shower or bathe without problems. You can clean it with a damp cloth and neutral soap. The orthosis can be adapted to your individual needs. It consists of a fully foam-covered aluminium core. This increases the level of wearer comfort and adaptation to your body.
If possible, you put the orthosis on while lying down. User-friendly ratchet closures make the orthosis easy to put on and take off. The closures help you to correctly set the waistband. Ensure that the orthosis always hugs your body closely. Your doctor or orthopaedic technician will explain to you at the first trial fitting how you should handle your new hyperextension orthosis.
