1. Introduction
1.1. Foreword
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 instructions.
1.3. Mode of operation
The
MKS
®
Osteo and MKS
®
Osteo flex
Spinal
orthosis functions
according to the reclination principle. The two
shoulder straps attached to the back plate
straighten the vertebral column to relieve the
thoracic spine.
The reclination straps are attached to the
lumbar bandage through additional lateral
straps.
Hereby rotation is limited and stabilisation is
ensured.
The wide lumbar bandage straightens and
hence relieves the lumbar vertebral column.
