Background INCIDENCE OF THE OSTEOPOROTIC FRACTURE Osteoporosis is characterised by a decrease in bone mass and an increase in bone fragility, which increases the risk of fractures. The most frequent are hip and vertebral fractures. Vertebral fractures cause very acute pain in the back and lead to the gradual deformity of it, due to vertebral crushing. This pain can become dull and more continuous, produced by microfractures that are usually the most frequent symptom for detecting the disease and making a diagnosis. Without osteoporosis With osteoporosis Osteoporosis (OP) is a common...

Origin and development of the disorder in vertebral fractures Neuromuscular function Energy absorption Bone mass Environmental risks External protection Bone structure Bone quality Skeletal resistance

Highest prevalence index In general, it is estimated that around 33%* of women over 50 years of age have OP and it usually affects postmenopausal women. The prevalence in women increases by 15%* for the interval between 50-59 years, to more than 80% in those over 80 years of age. In men, prevalence is lower, 8%*. PREDISPOSITION FOR SUFFERING VERTEBRAL FRACTURES Postmenopausal women Previous fractures Poor nutrition Little exercise Medicines like steroids and corticoids Prolonged immobilisation Excess tobacco - alcohol

A continuous increase is expected in the incidence of this disorder and its consequent fractures, due to increased life expectancy, which increases the risk of occurrence to a greater degree. Orliman, aware of this problem and its evolution in vertebral fractures, presents his new: Dorsolumbar brace Dorsotech® Europe United States In Spain, it is estimated that about 66,000 vertebral fractures occur every year. millIon vertebral fractures *Study Source: International Osteoporosis Foundation / OMS

ACTIVE ADJUSTMENT TECHNOLOGY Active Adjustment Technology MAIN FORCE Dorsotech® design and materials prevent your muscles from losing strength, making you more active; this is achieved through a dynamic adaptation system, through a combination of rigid and elastic points, obtaining constant stabilisation and counteracting the curve of your spine. REAR VIEW

Dorsolumbar brace Dorsotech® ||Characteristics Lightweight and ergonomically designed dorsolumbar brace made from breathable materials for proper stabilisation and posture correction. The rear component is composed of a rigid fabric base and a height-adjustable aluminium plate. It provides an individualised fit to the curvature of the back thanks to its mouldability and properly controls the alignment of the spine. The front area features semi-rigid elements to increase intra-abdominal pressure and provide a stable base for posture correction. Both components are connected by a system of...

ALUMINIUM SPLINT /Dorsotech® The aluminium plate* can be moulded and allows for its length to be adjusted to obtain the correct height of the brace. Perfect adjustment to the curve of your back.

Its armpit protectors are properly fixed to stop them from moving. Three-layer breathable material at the rear: Rotating joints, which help to adjust the brace to the correct position for each patient for them to move freely. The abdominal area is very large and is reinforced to increase intra-abdominal pressure and provide a stable base for posture correction. Multi-cell foam fabric for greater resistance. Memory foam in the middle. Smooth towelling inside...

Its previous locking system is designed with pins to make it a perfect fit; it is very easy for the patient to put on once all the elements have been adapted.
