Taylor Modular Back Lumbar Orthosis

Characteristics:

• Both the dorsal and lumbar areas are made from breathable honeycomb mesh fabric with a wavy interior.
• The dorsal part consists of malleable aluminum plates with a pre-formed morphology, straps with elastic properties in soft padded fabric, for a better fit in the armpit area and at the same time to obtain greater comfort.
• The sacrolumbar area consists of a band with an aluminum structure as well as upper transverse bars.
• The straps have a stiffer inner edge to allow better adaptation in the dorsal area, allowing greater elasticity in the armpit area.

Effects:

• Through abdominal compression, a slight loss of pain can be achieved, producing a limitation in movement in the lumbar area in both the anteroposterior, lateral and rotational directions.
• The dorsal component will produce a deskyphosing effect. The straps end up having a retropulsion effect on the shoulder area.

Indications:

• Incorrect kyphotic attitudes
• Vertebral wedging
• Back lumbar injuries
• Infectious lesions affecting the dorsal column
• Disc herniations
• Postoperative
• Osteoporosis
• Vertebral fractures
• Cases in which there is a need for correction of the kyphotic curve.
• Some mild back pain such as T-8, T-12, associated with low back pain that requires temporary immobilization (such as the patient moving around, domestic or work efforts, etc.). In situations where there is a need for partial chest restraint during some of the activities that the patient may carry out during the day.

The Pendulum Abdomen Model is recommended for people who have a prominent abdomen (Ref: TC200A).
