Adjustment of the BORT DynamicFX Back brace
The adjustment of the BORT DynamicFX Back brace may only be carried out by trained specialist staff.
Step 1
Determination of the circumference
of the waist
Measure the circumference of the waist and
select the appropriate size from the available
base support sizes:
Step 2
Selection the base plate
The selection of the base plate is primarily determined by the affected area / areas as well
as the individual body size of the patient.
Function of the spring tension elements:
The dynamics of the brace can be individually selected. The strength of the spring determines the de­
gree of straightening and therefore, the improvement in posture.
The following spring strengths are available:
 30 Newton  40 Newton  50 Newton  60 Newton  80 Newton
Spring strengths of between 80N and 60N are primarily used in postoperative cases. 50N to 30N springs
should be used after half of the wearing time as recommended by the surgeon has passed.
Patients who have been treated in a conservative manner suffering from: muscular imbalance,
adicular irritation syndrome, developing spinal stenosis, irritation of the sacroiliac joint, as well as those
who are undergoing preventative stabilisation could benefit from spring strengths ranging between 30N
and 50N. These strengths are always measured in relation to the individual constitution of the patient.
Patients who have been treated in a conservative manner suffering from: NPP (Nucleus Pulposus
Prolapse), spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, osteochondrosis, spondylolisthesis are to be supplied with
spring strengths ranging from 60N to 80N.
The length of the spine is measured step by step via the spinous processes of the
spine that run from the natal cleft up to the head (cranial).
The base plate is available
in 4 different lengths:
