Assistive Product Orthesensets T-Flex, Flexionsorthesen nach Krämer, | Informationen zum Modularsystem (4-Stufen-Therapie)

Modular system (4-stage therapy):
1st stage (de-lordosis, greatest possible flexion)

In the 1st stage, de-lordosis is achieved by the height-adjustable plastic frame with rigid metal splints and the individually adjustable abdominal pad; the rotation of the lumbar spine is significantly restricted. The intra-abdominal pressure is increased and thoracic respiration is inhibited. The spine is relieved by the distraction that occurs during the inspiratory phase. The intradiscal pressure drops, the spinal canal and the foramina are widened, which leads to relief of the neural structures.

2nd stage (stabilise, reduced flexion)
In the 2nd stage, the adjustment is initiated to approximate the physiological lumbar lordosis. The rigid metal splints inserted in the plastic frame are replaced with more flexible splints. The abdominal pad is removed. The patient is still well stabilised by the more flexible frame, but flexion is reduced and the physiological lordosis of the lumbar spine is almost restored.

3rd stage (mobilise, return to physiological lordosis)
In the 3rd stage, the plastic frame is replaced with the flexible limb pad. The remaining high cross support girdle with pad provides the patient with support and relief for the lumbar spine. Rotational movements are still restricted and the spine is protected from excessive strain.

4th stage (activation, relief through abdominal suspension)
In the final stage, the patient is left with the support with flexible limb pad as a long-term therapeutic assistive product. The additional prescription of a lumbar support with pad, which is usually necessary after treatment with a flexion corset, can be dispensed with.
