Trunk orthosis designed to support the upper body and help maintain posture
A thoracolumbar hyperextension orthosis helps stabilise the spine and limit forward bending of the trunk. It may be used when reinforced spinal support is required, particularly following a fracture or vertebral compression, according to the recommendation of a healthcare professional.
A thoracolumbar hyperextension orthosis is a trunk orthosis designed to support and stabilise the spine, mainly in the thoracic and lumbar regions.
It helps limit forward bending of the trunk and promotes a controlled posture during everyday activities. Through its different support points, it helps maintain the upper body while reducing movements that may place strain on the affected area.
Different types of hyperextension orthoses may be offered depending on the medical prescription, the person’s body shape, the area requiring stabilisation and the level of support needed.
