Heavy, rigid spinal orthotics and the elderly are
like oil and water; they just don’t mix. Many of our senior
citizens are unwilling or unable to tolerate a traditional, rigid
spinal orthosis. Thus the old “compliance” issue rears its ugly
head. But alas! There is a solution.
The principal advantage of the “OrthoLite” is
the weight reduction (20 percent) over a traditional, rigid spinal
orthotic. The three-part laminate consists of a soft liner, a thin
inner frame, and a semi-rigid outer shell. The inner frame has
windows cut for a.s.i.s., rib and spinal relief.
The “OrthoLite” is available as a LSO or a
TLSO. It can be fabricated as one piece or as a bivalve and ordered
custom to measurement or cast or as a prefabricated product.
