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 through these
User Instructions carefully and accurately
before using the brace. The instructions, notes
and procedures must be read and understood
thoroughly in order to benefit from the correct
operation and use of the device. If anything
in the User Instructions is not clear, or any
instructions, operating procedures or safety
information is not fully understandable, please
contact the appropriate specialist retailer or
albrecht GmbH directly, before you use the
brace. This particularly applies to the safety
instructions.
1.3. Mode of operation
The
MKS
®
Osteo
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 wide lumbar bandage straightens and
hence relieves the lumbar vertebral column.
The reclination straps are attached to the
lumbar bandage through additional lateral
straps.
Hereby rotation is limited and stabilisation is
ensured.
1.4. Application
The brace must only be used for the orthotic
treatment of the vertebral column.
The
MKS
®
Osteo
assists treatment
in the application area from the
third thoracic vertebral body to
the fifth lumbar vertebral body in
adults. It provides stabilisation of
the entire spine. The
MKS
®
Osteo
is intended to help you achieve a
lifestyle that is as independent as
possible, while still meeting your
needs and matching your personal
capabilities.
1.5. Scope of delivery
The
MKS
®
Osteo
is delivered to you ready
to use in the size requested, with User
Instructions and labeling on the product.
