Spinomed
active men
Intended purpose
Spinomed active men is a back brace.
The product is exclusively to be used for
the orthotic fitting of the spine and only
on unbroken skin.
Indications
• Osteoporosis with kyphosis and/or
back pain (long-term care)
• Scheuermann's disease
• Kyphosis with chronic back pain
Contraindications
None known to date
Putting on the orthosis
• Open the zip and unfasten the hooks.
• Put the corset on and fasten the hooks
(1); then do up the zip (2).
• If required you can adjust the hooks at
the groin in three stages (3).
• Slide the rod that your orthotist
preshaped for you into the pocket
provided at the back of the brace (4).
Make sure that the ribs are facing
outwards, and the narrower end is at
the top.
Mode of action
The integrated straps (pelvic strap/
shoulder strap) use the biofeedback
principle to straighten up the spine; this
activates the muscles of the trunk and
helps to straighten the rounded back
that is associated with osteoporosis.
As your muscles grow stronger you
become more mobile and pain is
reduced.
Instructions for use
During the familiarisation phase and to
gradually restore the back muscles the
®
time spent wearing Spinomed active
should be increased gradually.
Depending on the physical condition, 30
minutes uninterrupted wearing may be
sufficient at the beginning. The wearing
time can be increased step by step
during the course of treatment. Your
acceptance and co-operation play an
important part in treatment with
Spinomed active. If any problems arise
please talk to your doctor or orthotist.
He may be able to adjust the brace.
Please follow your doctor's instructions
exactly to ensure the success of this
course of therapy.
