While the Hanfuse Expandable Lumbar Cage provides support and stability for the lumbar spine, it also raises concerns about whether long-term wearing will lead to dependence.
Generally speaking, if the Hanfuse Expandable Lumbar Cage is used correctly, long-term wearing of the Hanfuse Expandable Lumbar Cage does not necessarily lead to dependence. The main function of the lumbar cage is to provide additional support when the lumbar spine is damaged or unstable, help relieve the pressure on the lumbar spine, and promote recovery. In the early stages of rehabilitation, the cage can effectively limit excessive movement of the lumbar spine and create a good environment for the repair of damaged tissues.
However, if the cage is used incorrectly or is overly dependent on it, some adverse consequences may occur. For example, if the cage is stopped immediately after the lumbar symptoms are slightly relieved, the lumbar spine may be injured again, thereby prolonging the recovery time. In addition, if the cage is worn for a long time without proper rehabilitation training, the waist muscles may gradually atrophy due to lack of exercise, which in turn reduces the stability of the lumbar spine and further increases dependence on the cage.
To avoid dependence, follow the advice of a doctor or professional when using the Hanfuse Expandable Lumbar Cage. While wearing the fixator, combine appropriate rehabilitation training, such as waist muscle strengthening training, stretching exercises, etc., to enhance the strength and stability of the waist. As the rehabilitation progresses, gradually reduce the wearing time of the fixator to allow the waist to gradually adapt to normal activities.
In addition, regular review is also very important. The doctor can adjust the use of the fixator according to the rehabilitation situation to ensure that the fixator is stopped at the right time to avoid over-dependence. At the same time, maintaining good posture and living habits, such as avoiding bending over and sitting for a long time, can also help reduce dependence on the fixator and promote the long-term health of the lumbar spine.
In short, long-term wearing of the Hanfuse Expandable Lumbar Cage does not necessarily cause dependence, but it needs to be used correctly, combined with rehabilitation training and regular review to ensure that it is stopped at the right time to promote complete recovery of the lumbar spine.
