Triplanar control thoracic-lumbosacral spine immobilizer orthoses designed for maximum restriction of movements and/or total immobilization in the sagittal, coronal, and/or transverse planes (i.e., provide maximum control of movement in the three planes) that consist of a custom-made jacket. These orthoses usually consist of rigid or semi-rigid, frequently bi-valved, custom-made structures typically made of thermoplastics that are fabricated using a model of the user\'s body torso. Custom-made jackets used as triplanar control immobilizer orthoses are intended for long-term care of spinal deformities and for rehabilitation after trauma when movement control in the three planes is needed.
