Orthopaedic Posture Supports and Memory Foam
There are a wide variety of orthopaedic posture support aids on the market designed to help us maintain the correct posture. Whether seated or prone the maintenance of good posture is the key to momentary comfort and long term wellbeing. The lumbar and cervical regions of the body are the areas under the greatest strain. Here the spinal curves and the muscles that support them are under persistent pressure aggravated by inadequate seating or the incorrect mattress. Remembering we are all shaped differently it is important to use the correct orthopaedic support best suited to you. The standard high-density foam mattresses and supports provide an acceptable degree of comfort but they aren't able to give you tailored support. The limitation is in the construction of the foam, standard high-density foam reacts only to pressure. This is ideal for heavier and larger parts of your body but quite ineffectual for the smaller more sensitive areas.
The advantage of orthopaedic posture supports made from memory foam is the increased support this material provides. It has a characteristic not found in conventional high-density foam, the ability to react to temperature. This additional component allows memory foam to mould to every aspect of the surface pressing against it. The denser areas of the body ''sink' into the foam but this has no effect on the foam around these areas that can remain firm allowing for the support of the gentle and severe curves found throughout the body. That is the point at which the muscles can now relax and the therapeutic properties of this remarkable product is fully realised.
There is however another aspect of memory foam that is often overlooked but of great importance. To be fully effective the total support so quickly achieved must be sustained over time to maximise the benefits. You find when using memory foam that you tend not to move about looking for more comfortable positions. To maintain this high level of support without building up pressure and restricting blood flow requires a substance that retains a residual 'softness'. A good quality memory foam product whether they are mattress toppers, full mattresses or orthopaedic supports like lumbar rolls or neck supports are all made with memory foam constructed to a density of 55-60kg/m³. This means that all shapes and sizes of individuals are able to achieve highly effective tailored posture support for long periods of time without experiencing discomfort, and when the orthopaedic support is in the form of a memory foam mattress the experience of a deep recuperative sleep.

Bionic Neck Support A-Strap $34.95 Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support A-Strap The A-Strap is designed to fix the Bionic Neck Brace more tightly to the rider. This is for riders who like the snug feel of a strap across their chest - or who perhaps ride with a heavy Enduro jacket which makes it more difficult to use the X-Strap. The A-Strap needs to be fitted to the support first. |

Bionic Neck Support $449.99 Alpinestars Bionic Neck Brace Support The Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support (BNS) is a structure which is designed to work with a helmet to reduce the risk and severity of a catastrophic neck injury (i.e. a paralyzing injury) while riding motocross or off-road. While no product can guarantee protection from all motorcycle injuries, due to the varied dynamics of accidents, the BNS is designed to substantially reduce the likelihood of a career ending neck injury although it must be stated at the outset that it, as with other such systems, may not prevent injuries occurring in all cases. The BNS comes with its own carrying bag for extra convenience. Features: The BNS functions by providing an alternative load path for the energy that compresses the neck. If the helmet is in contact with the Bionic Neck Support at the moment of impact the overall load passing through the neck can be reduced, which may prevent a fracture from occurring The BNS also helps reduce the chance of muscular injuries associated with extremes of head movement While it is not possible to eliminate the risk of any form of injury, the BNS is designed to help prevent the most serious damage and minimize the risk of collateral injury as the impact load is channeled away from the neck When compared to soft 'neck roll' devices the protection afforded is significantly better because being soft, these devices simply deform, offering no protection against the damaging compressive forces A special magnesium key located at the rear allows the convenient front opening of the device while also allowing it to be dismantled in an emergency Fitting System: Fine adjustment of the shoulder height allows a more personalized fit., particularly for individuals who have a shorter than normal neck Rear Stabilizer Failure system: In the event of large loads being channeled onto the rear stabilizer (the part that sits on the back) there are a number of deliberate bending and fracture points Click Here for Bionic Neck Support Sizing Specs **Closeouts are limited to stock on hand** |

Bionic Neck Support SB $289.95 Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support SB The Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support (BNS) is a structure which is designed to work with a helmet to reduce the risk and severity of a catastrophic neck injury (i.e. a paralyzing injury). While no product can guarantee protection from all motorcycle injuries, due to the varied dynamics of accidents, the BNS is designed to substantially reduce the likelihood of a career ending neck injury although it must be stated at the outset that it, as with other such systems, may not prevent injuries occurring in all cases. The BNS functions by providing an alternative load path for the energy that compresses the neck. If the helmet is in contact with the Bionic Neck Support at the moment of impact the overall load passing through the neck can be reduced, which may prevent a fracture from occurring. The BNS also helps reduce the chance of muscular injuries associated with extremes of head movement. While it is not possible to eliminate the risk of any form of injury, the BNS is designed to help prevent the most serious damage and minimize the risk of collateral injury as the impact load is channeled away from the neck. When compared to soft ‘neck roll’ devices the protection afforded is significantly better because being soft, these devices simply deform, offering no protection against the damaging compressive forces. Features: Rear Stabilizer Failure System - In the event of large loads being channeled onto the rear stabilizer (the part that sits on the back) there are several deliberate bending and fracture points designed to relieve extreme loads that may be transmitted down the back. These include: deflection of foam tail, grooves to allow deflection of support structure tip and fracture area of support structure tip. Fracture of supporting members (also fracture if subjected to side loads that could cause the head to rotate). Collar Bone Preservation 1 - All parts in contact with the body use an expanded foam compound to distribute the impact force over the widest area, yet remain light in weight. Collar Bone Preservation 2 - A continuous frame member runs over the shoulders. This means there are no weak points in a critical part of the frame and that there are no metal pins or screws sitting directly above the shoulders which could be dislodged into the shoulders or collarbone during an accident. Choice of Strap Systems - The BNS is supplied with the X-Strap System which allows a small, light strap (worn over or under the jersey) to secure the device to the rider. The larger A-Strap assembly (available as a separate accessory) provides a traditional chest strap for those who like to wear the protector tight to the body. Available mounting points for accessories allow for integration of the BNS with other Alpinestars accessories. |
