Rigid Spinal Orthosis Care
Care And Use Of Rigid Spinal Brace
- Wear a T-shirt under your brace.
- Always don your brace while LYING DOWN.
- Make sure the front of your brace overlaps the back.
- Oxford or athletic shoes must be worn at all times (leg braces).
- Check to see that the back of the brace is low enough (there is a waist indentation just above the pelvis).
- Tighten all straps starting at the bottom and working up. Then retighten and adjust the straps individually, as necessary.
- Your doctor may have specific instructions for wearing your brace. Be sure to ask him.
- You do not need to wear your brace while you are in bed unless your doctor specifies.
