CAUTION
The Miami Lumbar Posteo brace is a supportive brace only and is not guaranteed to prevent spinal injury. It should
be applied by a licensed or certified healthcare practitioner and as prescribed by a physician or other qualified
medical authority.
NOTE: Fitting the orthosis should be done by a qualified orthopedic professional only. The patient should wear
a light piece of clothing between the orthosis and the skin. The brace is not meant to be worn during sleep, nor
while bathing.
SIZING
1. Height criteria and selection:
Measure the distance from the top of the sacrum up to a finger width above the bony protrusion at the base of
the neck (C7 vertebrae) - follow the spinal curvature (Figure 2). Choose the appropriate brace size by following
the guidance in the table below
Brace Size

2. Waist criteria and sizing:
The belt is supplied for universal waist circumference sizing. Measure the patient's waist circumference.
Following the guidelines on the chart below, trim both belt arms to the proper waist size (Figure 3). Be careful
not to cut through the cord on the opposite side of the brace while trimming. Remove and discard the cut
portion of the belt and reattach both trim-able belts using the trim-able belt attachments (Figure 4). Make sure
you press the hook and loop attachment well when reapplying, and note that the attachment of this hook and
loop connection is not designed to be readjusted more than 50 times.
