Back Extension Brace for Osteoporosis & Spine Fractures This
thoracic brace controls the mid and lumbar spine via a
three-point system and can help with many spinal conditions or
anomalies, including: Osteoporosis Osteo of the spine
Degenerative disc disease Kyphosis Mechanical mid-back pain
Stable compression fractures in the L2 - T7 vertebrae
Thoracolumbar injury Thoracic back and spine pain Unwanted spinal
flexion This CASH ( cruciform anterior spinal hyperextension
orthosis)back brace controls unintended thoracic flexion and
promotes good spinal alignment. The three-point system of this
rigid brace offers a triplanar control which allows it to do so.
The rigid anterior (front) portion of the frame stretches
vertically from the symphysis pubis (between the hips) to the
sternal notch. It also has pads on either side of your midsection
and a back support pad. This combination limits spinal flexion as
well as other motion of your trunk. The lower pad is
articulating, meaning it can move with your body. The upper pad
can be adjusted to be either fixed or articulating, depending
upon your preference and/or a doctorâs orders. You can also
remove a screw at the top of the upper pad and remove a wedge in
order to allow that pad to move. Â The flexibility of the pads
increase the comfort of this TLSO back support. Also, the
thoracolumbar back support pad features an aluminum stay that you
can customize to the curve of your spine. The padding used in
this rigid mid- and low-back support is soft as well as
waterproof, making it ideal for long-term use and user comfort.
(Note that a snug-fitting under shirt should be worn between the
orthotic to prevent any chaffing. You can easily adjust the
height of the pads of this hyperextension back brace, by using
just your hands. You can do so by pulling out an adjustment knob
and adjusting the height as needed. The alligator fastener tab
around the waist of the osteoporosis back brace allows a high
degree of sizing flexibility. Once you have the fit right, the
excess material can be trimmed off and dided. Applying the
osteo back brace begins with opening the latch lock of
the support and passing the lumbar pad around the back while
holding the belt with one hand. While holding the frame of the
kyphosis back brace, you should slide the belt and attachment
plate over the protruding metal tab, using the thumb of the
site hand. You can now secure the latch lock by pushing the
flat area downward. To remove the kyphosis extension brace, you
simply reverses the steps. The quick-release closure system makes
application and removal quick and easy. Treating Thoracic Spinal
Problems Thoracic, or mid-back pain is not nearly as common as
discomfort of the low back or cervical spine; but that is of
little comfort for those dealing with discomfort in this region.
Oftentimes, muscle and soft tissue problems are to blame for
mid-back pain. Imbalances, overuse, poor posture or trauma can
all irritate such tissues, resulting in discomfort. In other
cases, damage to your thoracic spine may be to blame.
Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by a loss of
density, can increase your risk of spinal compression fracture.
This, in turn, can diminish your height, cause back pain, and
possibly lead to posture abnormalities such as the humpback curve
the upper back known as kyphosis. To help correct postural
kyphosis, which is caused from overtime slouching, try our
posture supportto help stop your condition from getting worse.Â
Osteo (OA) refers to degenerative joint disease that
might impact your spine. Over time, the protective cartilage
between the discs of the spine can wear away, causing pain and
possibly pressure nerves exiting the spinal column. Typically,
you can often address mechanical back pain by lessening stress on
its soft tissues (possibly via use of this upper back brace),
improving form or posture, engaging in exercises to correct
imbalances, etc. But those with OA and osteoporosis are less
fortunate. These conditions cannot be reversed, though there are
steps one can take to limit damage and slow progression of the
disease. This might include wearing a back brace, such as this
Cybercross orthotic. It helps by preventing unwanted flexion of
the thoracic spine and holding the back in an extended position.
Doing so promotes proper spinal alignment, which also helps
reduce pain. Details on this CASH Thoracic Extension Back Brace
