sacroiliac
SIO
the pelvis is
difficult to stabalize
why is the pelvis difficult to stabalize
shape of the pelvis
straps under legs help keep O in place
orthoses could be made out of
various materials
canvas
metal covered w/ leather
clinical indications of SIO
pelvic fxs
postpartum
pubic symphysis seperation
pelvic fx –> SIO
loss of pelvic ring
postpartum –> SIO
ligamentous laxity

“knight” or “chairback” O
LSO materials
metal covered in leather or canvas
LSO
lumbosacral
LSO can be
anterior or posterior and lateral
AP & L
what does the LSO do
decrease ROM in anterior and lateral direction
clinical indications for LSO
healing fx
post-surgical laminectomy fusion
healing fx –> LSO
spinal fxs in lumbar area
post-surgical laminectomy/fusion –> LSO
spina bifida
spondylolisthesis
LSO body jacket
plastic instead of metal
encases the whole trunk
increase inter-cavitary pressure
thoraco-lumbo/sacral orthosis
TLSO
types of TLSO
taylor O
knight taylor O
taylor O –> TSLO
thoracolumbar
A/P orthosis
straps extend over shoulders to control thoracic spine
taylor O controls –> TSLO
anterior/posterior movement
knight taylor O –> TLSO
thoraco-lumbar
A/P & L
straps extend over shoulder to control t-spine
knight taylor O controls –> TLSO
anterior/posterior and lateral movement
clinical indications for TLSO
healing fx in t-spine
spinal fusions T-spine
knight taylor/body jacket –> TLSO
plastic w/ full coverage
better control
can inhibit respiration and breast development in adolescents
