<p>An orthopaedic device is used to correct postural habits of the wearer to reduce the risk of lower back pain and injury, as well as to support the back when the wearer is carrying a heavy load. The device can be incorporated into a belt adapted to be worn about the torso of a user. The pad is typically formed of resilient, yet substantially non-compressive posture-supportive material, having a contoured body-facing surface configured to follow and maintain normal lumbar lordosis of the lower spine. The pad can also be incorporated into a patient-lifting sling to support the back and thighs of a patient, being suspended from a hoist. <IMAGE></p> |
