Orthosis for Osteoporosis

• Supports active straightening of the upper body
• Muscular training promotes bone preservation
• Reduces risk of falling and fractures
• High level of wearer comfort
• Practically invisible under clothing
• Easy to put on
• Breathable and skin-friendly material

Osteoporosis is also known as atrophy of the bone. The bone mass decreases and the bone structure deteriorates, and as a result the density of the bone and thus its load capacity decrease. In the advanced stages of the disease, even slight stress or light falls can result in fractures. However, there are good options available for treatment today. Prevention is especially important, and during the early stages of osteoporosis it is important to take steps against the progress of the disease. Muscle activity should be promoted and utilized. We have developed the Dorso Osteo Care 50R20 orthosis for this purpose.

More Mobility and Activity

The functionality is simple: With the help of the orthosis, you can once again straighten your upper body. You become more mobile and active on a daily basis. Your musculature becomes stronger and your body posture improves. You can walk and stand safely once again, and bone formation is improved.

Your doctor will establish how often and for how long you will wear the orthosis within the framework of the therapy plan. Your orthopaedic technician will adjust the orthosis for you. He or she will instruct you in the proper use of the Dorso Osteo Care.

Easy to Put On According to the Backpack Principle

The orthosis consists of a padded back plate made of light metal, an abdominal pad, and a special belt system. You can put the Dorso Osteo Care on easily like a backpack. You fasten the orthosis with a magnetic closure underneath the chest and a large hook-and-loop closure on the stomach pad. The orthosis is barely visible underneath your clothing. All fabrics are breathable, pleasantly soft, and skin-friendly to increase wearer comfort. Of course it takes time to get used to an orthosis at first. But with correct handling and a bit of practice, you will be able to use the orthosis well after a short period of time.

We recommend that you always wear an undershirt or T-shirt under the orthosis. You can wash the fabric parts of the orthosis. Your orthopaedic technician will explain to you exactly how this works.
