User Instructions
1. Introduction
1.1. Foreword
Our MKS
®
Modular Corset System straightens
and stabilizes defined areas of the vertebral
column in order to achieve postural corrections
which actively support rehabilitation in specific
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-
fitting 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.
1.2. Customer information
For your own safety please read through these
User Instructions carefully and accurately
before using the brace. The instructions, notes
and procedures must be read and understood
thoroughly in order to benefit from the correct
operation and use of the device. If anything
in the User Instructions is not clear, or any
instructions, operating procedures or safety
information is not fully understandable, please
contact the appropriate specialist retailer or
albrecht GmbH directly, before you use the
brace. This particularly applies to the safety
instructions.

straighten and hence relieve the vertebral
column. The wide thorax support limits the

straps straighten the vertebral column further
and minimize rotation. Focused compression
between iliac crest and thorax relieves the
lumbar vertebral column further.
