Trunk Orthoses Flashcards
1
Q
Flexible LSO - corset
A
- uses abdominal compression to increase intra-abdominal pressure
- provides tactile reminder for postural correction
2
Q
indications for flexible LSO
A
- low back pain, compression of abdominal incision
- respiratory assist in individual with spinal cord injury
- SI support for pregnancy
- post operative protection
3
Q
Rigid LSO - shell
A
- uses three point pressure system, intra-abdominal pressure and total contact to control flexion, ext, lat flex of lumbar and sacral spinal segments
- provides tactile reminder for positioning
4
Q
anterior trimline rigid LSO
A
below xiphoid process to symphysis pubis
5
Q
posterior trimline rigid LSO
A
below infer angle of snap to sacro-coccygeal junction
6
Q
indication for rigid LSO
A
post op protection, stenosis, low back pain, spondylolisthesis
7
Q
TLSO shell
A
- uses three point pressure system, intra-abdominal pressure, and total contact to control flexion, extension, lat flexion, and rotation of thoracic, lumbar and sacral spinal segments
8
Q
Anterior trimline TLSO
A
- distal to sternal notch to symphysis pubis
9
Q
posterior trimline TLSO
A
distal to spine of scap to sacro-coccygeal junction
10
Q
indications for TLSO shell
A
- post op protection
- stable vertebral fracture
- scoliosis
- spinal cord injury
11
Q
anterior control TLSO Jewett orthosis or cruciform anterior spinal hyperextension orthosis (CASH)
A
- uses three point pressure system and tactile remainders to control primarily flexion of thoracic and lumbar spinal segments
- fitting: sternal pad just distal to sternal notch, public pad just proximal to symphysis pubis, posterior pad over the thoracolumbar junction
12
Q
anterior control TLSO Jewett orthosis or cruciform anterior spinal hyperextension orthosis (CASH) indications
A
- thoracolumbar anterior vertebral compression fractures
