Hyperextension orthoses by Otto Bock support the healing of fractures in the area of the lower thoracic spine and lumbar spine. These fractures are usually the result of contusions and compression, mainly in car accidents or during sports. The Hyperextension Orthosis in Frame Construction 28R15 is also used in case of vertebral body fractures due to osteoporosis.

Simple and Effective

The way the orthosis works is simple and effective: Pressure pads along the lumbar spine, the sternum, and the pubic bone straighten and stabilize your spine. This special three point system relieves the anterior spinal vertebrae and simultaneously stabilizes your spinal column. Your pain is relieved.

Your doctor will establish a suitable therapy plan for you. Your orthopaedic technician will adjust the orthosis for you. He or she will first take your body measurements and select a modular kit of the corresponding size. The orthosis is adjusted while you are lying down, and then the pressure, placement, and fit of the three pressure pads and the correct positioning of the hyperextension orthosis are verified once more.

Special Closure – Easy to Put On

The hyperextension orthosis 28R15 is water-resistant, allowing you to shower or bathe without problems. You can clean it with a damp cloth and neutral soap. A special closure makes the orthosis easier to put on and ensures a correct fit.

If possible, you put the orthosis on while lying down. Ensure that the orthosis always hugs your body closely. Your doctor or orthopaedic technician will explain to you at the first trial fitting how you should handle your new hyperextension orthosis.
