Torso support STRADA

Osteoporosis is the condition which occurs in the world, especially in the seniors from western civilizations. This is metabolic disease which based on the bones demoralization and their fragility.

Medical specialists focus on prophylactically orthopaedic supply. The osteoporosis usually concerns women after menopause. What is more, the life expectancy is longer so this condition concerns men also.
Osteoporosis is visible especially in spine and vertebrae are deformed. The treatment needs long-term hospitalization and is connected with high costs.

Osteoporosis is connected with backbone’s poor posture. The women are shorter (even 15 cm) and have rounded upper back. The stomach is stick out. The movements are poor and slower. The muscles are more tense and less elastic. The vertebrae touch and press each other and can cause nerve compression and pain. Even daily activities like standing or bending cause pain and decrease psychomotor abilities. It leads to depression and frustration. Complications after osteoporosis can cause long-term immobilization or disability.

It is better to invest money in prophylaxis of the osteoporosis. Fortunately, the best solution to prevent or treat the osteoporosis is back brace STRADA. It is the optimal addition to pharmacological treatment.

The way of working:

• Back brace STRADA stabilizes spine
• It supports the weak trunk and back muscles
• The back splints are anatomic-shaped to
• Stabilizing straps are non-elastic and front straps facilitate fastening the device
• The muscle support leads to improve the trunk muscles tension and upright position
• The upright position increases lung capacity what prevents the shortness of breath
• Visible decreasing the pain

Purpose of use

• osteoporosis
• deformed vertebrae

MATERIALS

ActiveSpace™

ActiveSpace™ is a spacer, polyamide 3D lamination with high skin ventilation. It is very lightweight, consisted of 2 layers. Between them, we use polyamide braids. ActiveSpace™ is not elastic what improves stabilization. Inside the lamination, between 2 layers, the air flows freely, maintaining minimal water and moisture absorption. Waterproof material.

AirSanmed™

AirSanmed™ isn’t elastic what provides excellent stabilization. The skin has contact with cotton terry with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate. There is semi-rigid perforated foam EVA inside that protect the skin against the metal splints influence. External side of the fabric is perforated medical laminate with antibacterial properties of Silver Zeolite. It provides long-term efficacy and prevents the most dangerous infectious microorganisms such as MRSA and E.coli. AirSanmed™ is in accordance with Health Minister`s ordinance of 3 November 2004 and Council Directive 93/42/EWG of 14 June 1993.

STIFFENINGS

Profiled aluminum stays, spine stabilizers

These are splints and orthopedic stays of various thickness and width, which are made of various types of aluminum alloys. All these splints and stays, before mounting to a given orthosis, have been pre-profiled, which allows for fitting the product to the body of a specific patient. However, for the correct operation of the device, they should be precisely bent to the patient's body by an orthopedist, physiotherapist or orthopedist technician. Only this action guarantees the proper protection and support of the patient's body.
