Ottobock Hyper X Plus (item 28R128=XX) is a thoracolumbosacral orthosis designed to prevent spinal flexion and support posture alignment in individuals with thoracic or lumbar spine instability. The brace features a spring-loaded mechanism that provides controlled resistance when bending, helping to relieve back strain and promote a more upright position during daily movement.
This hyperextension brace uses an aluminum frame with a pelvic band and sternal pad to stabilize the spine without restricting mobility. The spring-assisted support distributes pressure across the thoracic and lumbar regions, reducing stress on weakened vertebrae and muscles. The quick-release closure and locking mechanism simplify donning and removal, making it suitable for rehabilitation and long-term wear.
Unlike standard compression braces that limit flexibility, the Hyper X Plus encourages natural spinal extension by resisting forward motion while allowing freedom of movement. It is often recommended for users with compression fractures, osteoporosis, or post-injury instability, offering both customizable adjustment and soft padded comfort for all-day use.
