Sacroiliac orthoses designed for external modification of the structural and/or functional characteristics of the sacroiliac region of the spine and the pelvis during therapeutic treatment. These orthoses typically hold and support the pelvis during dynamic treatment of the area. They may consist of a sling to suspend the complete pelvis, a belt fitted around the waist, or other appropriate device that holds the pelvis. Therapeutic sacroiliac orthoses are mainly used during orthopedic traction treatment intended to alleviate pain, align the vertebrae, or after traumatic injuries. Dedicated therapeutic orthoses such as belts and slings are available.
