The present invention relates to a device and a method for testing out a spinal orthose or corset on a patient, whereby the device consists of a frame (2), which is width and height adjustable, a back beam (3), a back plate (16) with a support means (17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25) belonging thereto and an abdominal plate (26). The device (1) is fixed on the back of the patient by adjusting the frame to the correct height and width, whereafter the back plate is fixed in the correct position by means of the support means.
