Spinomed Aids Osteoporosis Patients

SPS now offers the low-profile, lightweight Medi Spinomed^® spinal orthosis for vertebral extension in osteoporosis.

"Backpack" styling offers easy application. The thoracic area is unobstructed; abdominal breathing and shoulder/arm movements are unrestricted. An evidence-based study published in the March 2004 American Journal of PM&R showed that Spinomed:

• Strengthens back extensors by 73 percent;
• Strengthens abdominal flexors by 58 percent;
• Reduces the angle of kyphosis by 11 percent;
• Reduces body sway by 25 percent; and
• Decreases pain by 38 percent.

Indications include osteoporotic bone collapse in the thoracic and lumbar spine, juvenile Scheuermanns disease, and hyperkyphosis with chronic back pain.
