Product Highlight: Aspen Active™ P-TLSO

Product highlights from Elite Medical Supply will provide educational information on the recommended usages for each product that we carry. Today on the blog, we are featuring the Aspen Active™ Postural-TLSO.

The Aspen Active™ Postural-TLSO is a lightweight, adjustable brace designed to address the symptoms associated with poor posture often due to prolonged use of electronic devices/technology. While actively influencing a patient’s posture, the brace provides gentle support while activating postural stabilizing muscles.

This product helps train the body to hold neutral posture by concurrently stretching and strengthening the structures that have become tight and deconditioned over time due to poor posture.

Active Influence

The NEWmatix™ System provides a gentle reminder to the patient to pull the  shoulders back and down, similar to a scapular squeeze exercise performed in physical therapy. This system is designed to activate muscles to achieve a natural neutral posture. The conveniently located air pump allows the user to inflate the NEWmatix™ System to their preferred pressure placing the spine in a proper neutral position.

Proper spinal alignment with the aid of active influence treatment.

Features

The following product features help train the body to hold a neutral posture and correct negative posture conditions.

One-Size Adjustable

The P-TLSO is easily adjustable to fit a wide range of waist sizes. The side panels are marked with 4 sizes that range from 24 - 50 inches.

The sizing guide is used to determine which size a user should adjust their P-TLSO to for an effective fit.

Adjustable Shoulder Strap Height

Telescoping shoulder straps provide 6 inches of height adjustment to fit varying patient anatomies. In addition, circumferential adjustability enables a customized fit
for every body.

Step-down Treatment Design

As patient progresses through treatment, the brace can be stepped down. The shoulder straps and lumbar belt can be removed and worn independently.

Independent Tightening Mechanism

Aspen’s patented 4:1 mechanically advantaged SlickTrack™ System features an independent upper and lower tightening mechanism, providing direct compression where needed to support tight muscles.

Low-Profile

The P-TLSO is low-profile allowing the user to wear it during daily activities to achieve proper spinal alignment.
