1. Introduction

1.1. Foreword

Our MKS Modular Corset System straightens
®
and stabilizes defi ned areas of the vertebral
column in order to achieve postural corrections
which actively support rehabilitation in specifi c
indications.
Our MKS ® programme is comprised of a
modular system which can be divided into
an orthesis set consisting of rigid supportive
elements and a set of partially elastic,
smoothly-fi tting back-and-body bandages
which adapt comfortably to the body.
By combining the individual components of
the two sets an exact adjustment to both the
respective indication and the patient can be
achieved.
