Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable spinal brace, which is multi-adjustable for conservative treatment of low back pain. The brace comprises an anterior abdominal pad and a posterior frame interconnected by a connection means. In accordance with the invention, the connection means comprises lateral iliac rolls to be positioned at the top of the pelvis bone (crista iliaca) and straps to be connected to the anterior abdominal pad. The posterior frame has a lumbar pad provided with pressure setting means for adjusting the applied pressure. The spinal brace is adjustable to enable an accurate magnitude and position of the pressure to correct the curvature of the spine, especially in the lumbar area. At the same time, the design of the brace is open at the lateral sides, which allows for lateral bending and normal movement of arms and legs.

Abstract: An ankle-foot orthosis made of a carbon fiber reinforced material having low weight is carried on the front of the lower leg, extending over the lateral ankle and preventing plantar flexion. The orthosis may be worn under ordinary clothes and shoes and promotes a more natural gait pattern. The ankle-foot orthosis comprises a frame of thin flexible material extending over the front of the lower leg, anterior of the lateral ankle and beneath the sole of the foot and a supporting portion of rigid material extending over a narrow part of the front of the lower leg, anterior of the lateral ankle and beneath the part of the sole of the foot. The orthosis also comprises a fastening means for fastening the orthosis to the leg.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for testing out a spinal orthose or corset on a patient, whereby the device consists of a frame (2), which is width and height adjustable, a back beam (3), a back plate (16) with a support means (17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25) belonging thereto and an abdominal plate (26). The device (1) is fixed on the back of the patient by adjusting the frame to the correct height and width, whereafter the back plate is fixed in the correct position by means of the support means. The values measured in such a way are transferred to a corset blank by means of a measurement rod (36) (FIG. 1).
