?:definition
  • Spine orthoses designed for external modification of the structural and/or functional characteristics of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral segments of the spine, providing immobilization and/or support. These orthoses consist of a structure that encircles the thoracic and lumbosacral spine that constrains those segments of the spine. Thoracic-lumbosacral spine orthoses are intended for long-term care of spinal deformities and for rehabilitation after trauma, and also to alleviate back pain and/or to provide trunk support. They may consist of fabric and/or plastic orthoses that are either elastic, semi-rigid, or rigid devices.
