Diagnosis: Degenerative spinal disease
Degenerative scoliosis and other degenerative spinal diseases can lead to chronic back pain, impair mobility and permanently reduce the quality of life of those affected. Everyday situations, whether at home or at work, are made difficult or impossible by severe pain. If surgery is not an option, a brace can provide effective pain therapy and improve quality of life. Braces are also often used to provide support after operations. Braces can be used in a wide range of applications for degenerative scoliosis and other spinal disorders. Precise treatment planning is therefore necessary before individual orthopaedic fabrication.
Production of the scolio adult brace
The scolio adult brace is individually developed using CAD technology after precise planning. The entire manufacturing process, from data acquisition to the finished brace, is carried out using proven digital neja technology. Only two appointments are necessary: At the first appointment, data acquisition is carried out using 3D surface measurement, accompanied by a precise medical history and assessment. The technical design of the scolio adult brace is planned based on the clinical and radiological examination results. The second appointment is used to try on and fine-tune the brace, which can then be used immediately in everyday life.
Proven digital technology
Proven CAD technology is used in the manufacture of the scolio adult brace. The biomechanical design and materials are optimally adapted to everyday function and thus achieve the maximum effect. The improvement in quality of life with the scolio adult brace was scientifically proven in 2014. Click here for the case study.
Lightweight and functional design
The scolio adult brace is made from a lightweight, flexible yet stable material (polypropylene). The final shape is precisely tailored to the specific requirements to ensure maximum functionality.
Improving quality of life
The scolio adult brace is designed to reduce or eliminate pain and stop degenerative processes in the spine. It is tailor-made and precisely manufactured according to individual needs to provide optimum support in everyday life, at work and during social and sporting activities. The mentioned scientific study from 2014 confirms the effectiveness of the brace in improving quality of life and reducing pain by 75%.
Versatile range of applications
The scolio adult brace is used to treat pain and prevent degenerative processes. It is manufactured for every required area of use and covers all activities for coping with everyday life as well as specifically for sports, leisure and social activities. The design is specially adapted for the workplace for seated or standing activities.
Application areas and indications
The scolio adult brace extends its application far beyond the treatment of degenerative scoliosis and addresses a broad spectrum of degenerative spinal disorders. Wear-related diseases of the spine include:
- Degenerative disc disease such as herniated discs: Over time, intervertebral discs lose fluid and elasticity. This can lead to a decrease in their height and an increase in internal pressure and ultimately to disc tissue pressing on nerve structures, resulting in pain and functional limitations.
- Spondylosis deformans: Damaged intervertebral discs can lead to the formation of bony outgrowths at the edges of the vertebral bodies, which can irritate nerves emerging from the spinal cord.
- Spondylarthrosis: Similar to other joints in the body, the facet joints that connect the vertebrae can show signs of wear and tear, leading to pain and restricted movement.
- Spinal stenosis: Degenerative changes to the vertebral bodies, joints and ligamentous apparatus can lead to a narrowing of the spinal canal and affect the spinal cord or exiting nerves.
- Instability and slipped vertebrae (spondylolisthesis): Degenerative processes can cause excessive mobility in one or more segments of the spine. Displacement of the vertebral bodies can result in pain and functional limitations. Compression of the spinal cord or nerves can lead to neurological disorders.
- Vertebral fracture: Often caused by osteoporosis, vertebral fractures can occur even as a result of minimal trauma. The reduction in bone mass and the impairment of the structure increase the risk of fractures.
- Degenerative scoliosis: This particular form of curvature of the spine is often associated with progressive disc degeneration, spondylarthrosis, spinal stenosis and resulting neurological disorders and vertebral fractures.
For a better life
The scolio adult brace thus offers customized support for people who are confronted with the challenges and pain of these conditions and makes a decisive contribution to improving their quality of life.
