Problems solved by technology

[0005] While commercial or custom orthotic devices exist, many of these orthotics have been found to be uncomfortable for the wearer and difficult to apply
In the case of commercially available TLSO products, some commercially available TLSO products tend to poorly fit the contours of the wearer, including the spine, which results in a poorly fitted TLSO and ineffective support of the spine
Many TLSO types, especially custom body outer layers, are poorly ventilated and lack adequate padding
It also lacks the versatility to step up or down the wearer during a treatment session
Additionally, many TLSO products and custom orthoses are not adapted to provide different forms of control and are limited to a single type of control

Abstract

A thoracic lumbar sacral orthosis includes an upper body support for use with a torso orthosis. The upper body support has an anterior assembly including an anterior plate secured to the torso orthosis, a sternal assembly connected to the anterior plate, and a pectoral assembly connected to the sternal assembly. A posterior assembly is connected to the torso orthosis and is connected to the pectoral assembly by at least one strap. The sternal assembly has at least one pivot point arranged to pivot the sternal assembly relative to the anterior plate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates generally to an orthopedic device, and more particularly to a thoracolumbar-sacral orthosis and methods for mounting the same on a wearer. Background technique [0002] Spinal orthotics are used to treat a variety of conditions associated with the skeletal structure, including conditions such as osteoporosis, back injuries, chest injuries and spinal deformities, by applying pressure to the spine, abdomen and torso of the wearer. selected location for treatment. There are different types of spinal orthoses that are generally categorized by the level of vertebrae intended for treatment. Spinal orthoses include sacral orthosis (SO), lumbosacral orthosis (LSO), and thoracolumbosacral or thoracolumbosacral orthosis ("TLSO"). [0003] The TLSO is designed to provide support and immobilization of the thoracic and lumbar regions following various traumatic injuries or surgical procedures. Indications for the use of TLSO inclu...
