?:definition
  • Support thoracic-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 thoracic, lumbar, and sacral segments of the spine. These orthoses usually consist of 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 support corsets can be fitted for tight encircling of the thoracic and lumbosacral spine, surrounding the pelvis and abdomen with the posterior upper edge extending to the scapular spine and including shoulder straps. They are used for long-term care of spinal deformities, for rehabilitation after trauma, and also to alleviate back pain and/or to provide trunk support.
