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.
