1. Introduction

1.1. Introduction

Our MKS

®

 Modular Corset System straightens 

and stabilizes defined areas of the vertebral 
column in order to achieve postural corrections 
which actively support rehabilitation in specific 
indications.

Our MKS

®

 programme is comprised of a 

modular system which can be divided into 
an orthesis set consisting of rigid supportive 
elements and a set of partially elastic, 
smoothly-fitting back-and-body bandages 
which adapt comfortably to the body.

By combining the individual components of 
the two sets an exact adjustment to both the 
respective indication and the patient can be 
achieved.

1.2. Customer information

For your own safety, please read this User 
Instructions carefully before using the brace. 
Proper use and operation of the brace will 
only be possible if you have carefully read 
and understood all instructions, notes and 
procedures. Should you have any doubts with 
regard to the User Instructions, or should any 
of the instructions, operations or safety notes 
be unclear, please contact your local dealer 
or the manufacturer albrecht GmbH directly 
before using the brace. This holds particularly 
true for the safety notes.

1.3. Mode of operation

Due to its semi-elastic bandaging material 
the 

MKS

®

 Lumbago plus

 adjusts comfortably 

to the body. Through building up circular 
pressure the lumbar vertebral column is 
supported. The firm fastener element provides 
the necessary abdominal pressure which 
can be enhanced through the additional 
tensioning straps. The inserted silicone pad in 
the integrated back pocket stimulates blood 
circulation.

1.4. Application

The brace must only be used for the orthotic 
treatment of the vertebral 
column.

The 

MKS

®

 Lumbago plus

assists treatment in the 
application area from the 
first to the fifth lumbar 
vertebral body in adults. 
It provides stabilization 
of the entire spine. The 

MKS

®

 Lumbago plus

 is 

intended to help you 
achieve a lifestyle that is 
as independent as possible 
while still meeting your 
needs and matching your 
personal capabilities.
