SPINE INJURIES IN CROSSFIT

During sport activities spine injuries are common. From all of sports trauma, 20% are the lumbar and cervical injuries.

Lumbar injury is often connected with muscle sprain. Crossfit workouts incorporate elements from high-intensity interval training, Olympic weightlifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, girevoy sport, calisthenics, strongman, and other exercises. There are a lot of microtrauma (running) and high pressure and axial load of spine (weightlifting).

Because of that, crossfit can damage the spine. A lot of hyperextension and bending movements may result in muscle sprain and ligaments injuries.

How to avoid it? First of all, you should remember about warm-up before training. Secondly, you should use our special sport back brace AXE (AS-LK-02/CCA), that provides excellent off-loading and stabilization of lumbosacral spine.

Product’s description

Lumbosacral brace AXE provides back pain relief and prevents against the muscle sprain. The device is made of breathable fabric ActiveSpace.

AXE back brace is made of 2 separated parts with anatomic shape. It provides excellent fitting and allows skin to breath freely. The rear part of the brace is equipped with elastic pockets, where you can attach lumbar pads made of special foam. This solution allows to fill the lumbar lordosis, providing the best stabilization. The back brace can be used with or without lumbar pads – according to your needs. This construction is great for people with irregular shapes (wide hips or big belly).

In AXE brace we used innovative compression system CCA. The system is characterized by firm fastening that is non-elastic, easy and secure. It is adjusted without any tools.

The back brace is equipped with rear orthopedic stays, abdominal pad and 2 lumbar pads.

AXE stabilizes the spine and improve the abdominal wall. By maintaining the consist temperature and elastic compression, the brace reduce the lower back pain and prevents against the future injuries and other conditions.

The breathable fabric of AXE is the excellent choice in sport training.

Purpose of use

1. Abdominal and lumbar muscles strains caused by injury or stress
2. In physical activity and sport as an support of the lumbar spine and muscles
3. In chronic L-S syndrome

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.

TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

CCA Compression System

Dial CCA Compression System was designed to use it in the snowboard shoes, because ordinary shoelace was too weak in extreme using. Typical shoestring sprang and snowboard shoes wasn’t casing construction what could allow using the steel fastening.

Steel wire and polyamide grommets allow to use steel fastening. Later, this system was used in other sport shoes such as: professional shoes for cycling or running.

In orthopaedic field the compression system was adapted early and it’s used in e.g. ankle, wrist or back braces. The system is characterized by firm fastening that is non-elastic, easy and secure. There is impossible to loose (only in case of damage) it what guarantees the best stabilization.

Our CCA System provides different levels of compression. It’s based on differential polyamide grommets , steel wires covered by plastic and knobs. The additional equipment is the special element that is easy to attach what allows to modify device’s shape or circumference.

The CCA System is the compression solution so you can use it only after putting the brace on the body.

STIFFENINGS

Abdominal pad

The abdominal pad of the orthopedic spine brace is made of ABS. It has an anatomical shape with rounded edges and special longitudinal cuts, thanks to which it is very easy to shape in the horizontal axis and maintains high stiffness in the vertical axis. Such a structure allows the orthosis to easily adjust to the abdominal section of the patient and, thanks to the vertical cuts, the patient's skin breathes as air is supplied to it.

Orthopedic stays from ABS

Orthopedic stays available in various width, thickness and shapes are cut from ABS boards. Their role is not to stiffen the orthosis in order to support a joint or other part of the body, but to prevent wrinkling and uncontrolled movement of the fabrics of the orthosis./p>

PADDINGS

3D supports

3D relief supports are independent technical solutions to relieve the rigid elements of a given orthosis. These elements are made of supporting foams or EVA foam. These foams are connected with various types of skin-friendly materials and materials with an adhesive function. These pads have the appropriate shape and color adapted to the type of orthosis. They relieve both metal elements of orthoses, such as splints, stays, underwires and orthopedic drop locks, as well as other elements that should not come into direct contact with the patient's skin. These pads have an anatomical shape and are made of comfortable foam with proper hardness and elasticity, guaranteeing the proper therapeutic effect.
