Trunk Orthoses & Cervical Collars Flashcards
1
Q
Purpose of trunk orthoses
A
- Limit ROM
- To minimize pain
- Provide support Correct or prevent MS impairment
2
Q
corsets
A
- increase intra-abdominal pressure
- flexion/extension control
3
Q
body jackets control motion in what plane?
A
- control motion in all planes
- control global movement
4
Q
thoracolumbarsacral
A
flexion-extension control
5
Q
thoracolumbarsacral
A
flexion/ext/rotation control
6
Q
A
flexion-extension-side bending control
7
Q
A
Jewet: flexion control
8
Q
thoracolumbarscral
A
The Cash (cruciform)
controls flexion
9
Q
A
lumbosacral corset
also increase IAP
10
Q
A
lumbar belt
11
Q
the evidence on lumbar belts suggests that
A
- do not prevent LBP
- and prolong use may lead to mm weakness which may cause injuries
- can be a good kinesthetic reminder
12
Q
A
- lumbosacral
- flexion/extension control
13
Q
A
lumboscral
flexion/extension/lateral control
14
Q
A
- lumbosacral
- limits lumbar extension and lateral flexion
15
Q
A
- lumbosacral thermoaplastic
- flexion/extension/rotation control
- global movements
16
Q
A
- sacroiliac orthoses (SI belts)
- stabilize SI and pubic joint
- reposition the sacrum
- post-pregnancy
- no evidence, but patient like it
17
Q
A
- Philadelphia Collar
- more support than soft collars
- better FLX/EXT motion control
- More unweight
18
Q
A
- Soft Collar
- min unweighting and motion control
19
Q
A
- Two-Post Cervical Orthosis
- Limits flexions and extension
- can’t lay supine
20
Q
Stemo-Occipito-Mandibular-Immobilizer (SOMI)
A
- Allows for supine lying
- three-post cervical orthoses
21
Q
which cervical orthoses allow the pt to lie supine?
A
- Stemo-Occipito-Mandibular-Immobilizer (SOMI)
- three-post
22
Q
A
- Four-post cervical orthosis
- more support
23
Q
A
- HALO
- total immobilization
- check pins for infection
24
Q
A
- Milwaukee
25
Q
Orthoses for scoliosis are more effective when the curve is
A
20-45 degrees
26
Q
goals of orthoses for scoliosis
A
- stop progression of curvature
- decrease pain
- improve appearance
- allow for growth of the spine
27
Q
Scoliosis Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis (CTLSO)
AKA
A
- Milwaukee brace
- not frequently used anymore
- pads over convexity and pull medially
28
Q
A
- thermoplastic TLSO
- pushes (applies pressure over the spinal convexity)
- more cosmetic than CTLSO
