Mode of operation

The MKS® Thorecta functions according to the 3-point-principle. Front and back piece straighten and hence relieve the vertebral column.

The wide thorax support limits the lateral flexion of the spine to further immobilise and relieve the vertebral column.

Focused compression between iliac crest and thorax relieves the lumbar vertebral column further.
