?:definition
  • Support lumbosacral spine orthoses consisting of a garment of soft or semi-rigid materials (i.e., corsets) that are designed to provide support and some degree of movement restriction of the lumbar and/or sacral segments of the spine. These orthoses usually consist of inelastic garments made of soft fabric (e.g., canvas), plastic (e.g., Dacron), or combinations of these that are usually reinforced with metal (e.g., stainless steel) stays. Lumbosacral corsets can be fitted for tight encircling of the lumbosacral spine, surrounding the pelvis and abdomen and providing support and limited restriction of the lumbar and sacral spine lateral and rotational motion.They are used mainly to alleviate lower back pain by reducing the activity of the spinal and abdominal muscles and/or for short-term care of patients after injuries or surgery.
