ABSTRACT:
A thoracal lumbosacral orthosis includes an anterior panel and a posterior panel for overlying anterior and posterior trunk portions of a patient's torso. The panels are strapped one to the other along opposite side edges and about a patient's torso. The anterior panel has an upper edge having a central arcuate concave recess and a pair of lateral arcuate concave recesses straddling the central recess to prevent discomfort or injury to the patient's neck upon lumbosacral flexion and facilitating shoulder movement, respectively. An opening is formed in the anterior panel overlying the diaphragm region of the patient to facilitate patient respiration. The posterior panel has an opening overlying the spine of the patient. This posterior opening is closed with a flexible, preferably foam, material, such that only light pressure is applied to a spinal surgical site in response to attempted movements by the patient or expansion, e.g., swelling, of the surgical site.
