ABSTRACT:
A thoracic-lumbar-sacral corrective orthosis ("TLSO") device, for supporting, controlling and correcting structural and postural curvature and deformation of the spine and a chair side support buttress to further support a patient seated in a chair. The TLSO device can be used by ambulatory and non-ambulatory patient's alike and has an arcuate rigid back portion, a flexible vest portion and straps to hold the TLSO device against the patient's back to apply corrective pressure to the patient's spine. A lumbar support cushion is located on the arcuate rigid back portion to provide lumbar support to the patient's spine. Chair attachment straps are affixed to arcuate rigid back portion for use in securing a patient wearing the TLSO device in a chair. The chair side support buttress is positioned between the armrest of a chair and extends upwards to lie adjacent to the patient's side. An underarm cut-out region permits the patient's arm to be looped over the upper region thereby assisting the patient in sitting properly in a chair, rather than slumping forwards or to one or both sides.
