Gerincetiortézis

Gerincetiortézis is a Hungarian term referring to a spinal orthosis or brace. These devices are external medical supports designed to immobilize, stabilize, or correct the alignment of the spine. They are commonly used to treat a variety of spinal conditions, including fractures, scoliosis, kyphosis, and post-operative stabilization. The primary goal of a gerincetiortézis is to reduce pain, prevent further injury, and promote healing by limiting excessive movement of the affected spinal segments.

The design and type of gerincetiortézis vary depending on the specific condition and the location of the spine that requires support. Common types include cervical orthoses for the neck, thoracolumbar sacral orthoses (TLSOs) for the mid and lower back, and various custom-molded braces. Materials used can range from rigid plastics and metals to flexible fabrics, often incorporating padding for comfort. Proper fitting and adjustment by a trained medical professional are crucial for the effectiveness and comfort of the orthosis. Patients are typically instructed on how to wear, remove, and care for their gerincetiortézis to ensure optimal outcomes and prevent skin irritation or breakdown. The duration of use is determined by the individual's healing progress and the nature of their condition.
