The Spinomed active men back orthosis is the optimum addition to the long term medical treatment of osteoporosis. It looks like a sports body for men with a close-fitting leg section in fashionable anthracite. It is made up of a textile orthosis carrier that fits around the upper body and an individually adjustable back brace in stable aluminium which slides into the back pocket.

Areas of application

• Osteoporotic bone collapse in the thoracic and lumbar spine
• Hyperkyphosis with chronic back pain

Mechanism of action

• The Spinomed active men back orthosis stabilises spines that have been damaged by one or more vertebral fractures.
• Strengthening of the weakened trunk muscles is boosted.
• The textile section incorporates a retaining strap that supports the posture.
• The back brace is adapted to the individual spinal curvature and fits into the pocket provided.
• Therefore the orthosis cannot slip out of place and, in addition, it stimulates the strengthening of the muscles.
• It has a permanent bio-feedback effect: while the textile component actively promotes the straightening of the back, the back brace ensures stability.

Trials confirmed immediate pain reduction with the Spinomed active men.

The design of the Spinomed active men is based on the principle of the Spinomed active – the only women’s corset with a back brace, the efficacy of which has been demonstrated in an evidence-based study:

• Strengthening of the trunk muscles leads to a straightening of the upper body.
• Straightening of the trunk increases lung volume so that the shortness of breath, commonly seen in patients with osteoporosis, is greatly reduced.
• The clear pain reduction increases the patient’s physical performance.
• The tendency to sway that is typical of patients with osteoporosis is reduced, which results in a reduction in the tendency to fall and therefore decreases the risk of future fractures.
