17
Q

Describe a TLSO.

A

Ssacrum to above the inferior angle of the scapulae

18
Q

When should TLSO be used for scolosis?

A

Prevent progression of moderate scoliosis

19
Q

What are indications for TLSO use?

A

Truncal paralysis
Post-spinal fusion
Postscoliosis surgery

20
Q

Describe a Taylor brace.

A

Flexion/extension control TLSO that consists of two posterior paraspinal bars attached inferiorly to a pelvic band, interscapular band and corset or anterior, fullfront abdominal support

21
Q

Describe a Kight-Taylor brace.

A

Consists of a Taylor style TLSO with lateral bands and a thoracic band to restrict lateral bending

22
Q

Describe a Jewett brace.

A

Flexion control TLSO consisting of a sternal pad, suprapubic pad, and anterolateral pads connected by oblique lateral uprights counteracted by a dorsolumbar pad

23
Q

What are indications of a Jewett brace?

A
  1. Permit upright position while preventing flexion after thoracolumbar compression fx
  2. Thoracolumbar Scheuermann’s disease
  3. Thoracic osteoporotic kyphosis
24
Q

Describe a Cruciform Anterior Spinal Hyperextension (CASH) brace.

A

Anterior cross-shaped vertical and horizontal metal uprights with sternal, pubic, posterior, and anterolateral pads. The vertical upright joins the sternal and pubic pad. The horizontal uprights connect the posterior thoracolumbar pad and the anterolateral pads

25
Q

What are indications of a Cruciform Anterior Spinal Hyperextension (CASH) brace?

A
  1. Permit upright position while preventing flexion after thoracolumbar compression fx
  2. Thoracolumbar Scheuermann’s disease
  3. Thoracic osteoporotic kyphosis
26
Q

Describe a Milwaukee brace.

A

Cervicothoracic-lumbo-sacral orthosis (CTLSO)
• Consists of a rigid plastic pelvic girdle connected to a neck ring over the upper thorax by one anterior, broad aluminum bar and two posterior paraspinal bars
• The cervical ring has mandibular and occipital bars, which rest 20 to 30 mm inferior to occiput and mandible
• Pads strapped to the bars apply a transverse load to the ribs and spine to correct scoliotic curvatures

27
Q

What are Indications of Milwaukee brace use?

A

Idiopathic or flexible congenital scoliosis with curves 25° to 40° if the curve apex is located superior to T8
