The 50R20 Dorso Osteo Care is suitable both for the treatment of osteoporotic changes in the thoracic and lumbar spine and for the aftercare of osteoporotic vertebral body fractures.

Due to pain and fear of fractures, the patient often assumes a relieving and improper posture and becomes increasingly inactive.
The goal of therapy using the Dorso Osteo Care is to stop the disease during its early stages, alleviate pain, and to prevent fractures.
The musculature should be strengthened and the patient's mobility increased at the same time.

The orthosis straightens the upper body actively by pulling the shoulder girdle and stomach back.
This effect is achieved by adjustable straps and the adjustable back plate. In this manner the Dorso Osteo Care supports activation of the back musculature and improves bone development, but without restricting abdominal and chest breathing.
The training effect on the trunk supporting muscles improves standing and moving safety.
This reduces the risk of falls and therefore also the risk of fractures.
The abdominal support provides gentle compression of a potentially existing pot belly.

The Dorso Osteo Care can be worn discreetly even below light clothing and is donned easily using the backpack principle.
It is shipped ready to fit, and consists of a coated aluminium back plate equipped with removable pads, an abdominal pad, and a special strap system.
The back pad, abdominal support, and the armpit area of the shoulder strap are made from breathable SpaceTex® material.

The Osteo Move exercise program presents exercises to prevent and treat osteoporosis - both with and without the Dorso Osteo Care.
