Braces are medical aids that are used to stabilise, relief, immobilise, guide or correct limbs or the trunk. They protect and support the musculoskeletal system. They are more stable than supports and in some cases have built-in mechanisms, for example for joint guidance. They are therefore able to carry out protective, guiding and in some cases supporting functions in joint traction.
Braces can assist with a wide range of conditions. They are generally prescribed by doctors and selected in conjunction with the orthopaedic technician. They can be used for immobilisation to assist healing if temporary immobilisation is required. In other forms, braces can stabilise joints or guide them in physiologically correct movements.
This can also be useful for the training of affected muscle groups and therefore for strengthening them. For chronic and irreparable damage, braces can provide relief and support people's mobility. They can maintain functions and prevent or reduce pain. In their corrective role, they counteract deformities, malpositioning and load stress and can therefore prevent physiological malformations.
Whether it be for immobilisation, mobilisation, correction, stabilisation or relief: Sporlastic braces impress with excellent wearing comfort, super handling and an appealing design.
