ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic corset which is peculiarly adapted for the sacro-lumbar region of the body is disclosed. The corset appliance includes one or more inflatable cell structures which are detachable from the corset and positionally adjustable therein. Different cells have differently sized and configured air pockets, and, as a result of the interchangeability of the cells as facilitated by their ready detachment from the corset, different therapeutic results may be achieved, depending upon the particular cell chosen. The cells are fabricated from a plastic vinyl material which exhibits a low coefficient of stretchability, and, in addition, the inflated configuration of the cell is memorized into the cell structure. Consequently, upon inflation of the cell, the same always assumes substantially the same configuration whereby precisely located counterpressure may be applied to particular areas of the lumbar region of the body.
