Figure 10

Simplified model of the trunk compression as applied in soft braces using the corrective movement principle. While in the Fischer brace and in the SpineCor ventral and dorsal compression forces are applied, the Spinealite only uses one dorsal compressive force (Figure10), allowing a lordosation of the trunk in the middle between the two attachment areas (Shoulder and thigh), which is at the thoracolumbar junction / high lumbar region.
