The Neo G Medical Grade posture correction brace is a medical brace that is designed to alter the progression of Kyphosis (hunchback syndrome) while it is still on its early stages. The design of this medical posture corrector was designed to target the most common area in the lower part of the thoracic region, which the bone density of the spine is much considerably thinner than that on the lower lumbar region.
Kyphosis usually starts in this area and it is where that this medical posture corrector exerts all the pressure, slowing down and eventually stop the thoracic area from further hunching outward. It is also very suitable for aiding in stabilizing the entire spinal column, along with the clavicle (collarbone) with its very extensive shoulder and rib cage straps that apply huge amounts of pressure in those particular areas.
The posture correction brace can effectively support the entire weight of the entire torso, relieving the weight that it incurs on the upper and lower back which makes it very ideal for people who are suffering from extensive back pains from various injuries and medical conditions that require the back to be tightly secured.
Quality and Materials Used:
Kyphosis hunchback problem
The Neo G correction brace is made from a combination of synthetic fabrics such as Nylon, Ryon and Spandex, particularly the strap design which goes around the lumbar area, lower back and the thoracic region. The straps of this medical posture corrector are designed for extra coverage of the affected muscles in which substantial compressive pressure is needed to secure the upper back. There are two (2) main straps that go all the way around the shoulders that go down to the back area that wraps around the thoracic region of the back. After passing this area, the straps go around the lower part of the chest, covering the rib cage as it finally comes to the front are in which it is secured by its Velcro straps.
The entire process of wrapping the entire area with the straps applies substantial pressure for each particular area the straps go through, giving the wearer a very tight pressure point on the upper back, inhibiting the back to bend outward. The area covering the shoulder areas have paddings to reduce the pressure that the straps incur on it. The entire fabric material used on the brace was designed so that air can fully circulate within the material, allowing the wearer’s skin to breathe.
