Description:
Modular system (3-step therapy):
1. Stage 1: Immobilization in an entorodosing position
In the 1st stage, immobilization is achieved in an entorodosing position in the lumbar spine area by means of the thermoplastically deformable and height-adjustable plastic frame inserted in the back; rotation is significantly restricted. The natural rubber material used means that the patient remains partially active. The extent of muscular atrophy is minimised during additional training.
2nd stage: Reduction of flexion
In the 2nd stage, the rigid metal rods of the frame are replaced with flexible rods. This initiates the adjustment towards the physiological lumbar lordosis, but the patient is still stabilised by the frame, flexion is reduced and the physiological lordosis of the lumbar spine is almost restored.
Stage 3: Activate
In the final stage, the patient is left with the spinal support bandage with flexible limb pad as long-term assistive products. The aim is to restore the patient's original level of function, in particular full reintegration into the work process. The prescription of a lumbar support with pad can be dispensed with.
