ABSTRACT:
A thoracic lumbar sacral orthosis device includes a jacket having opposite side portions, a back portion, and a releasable front portion. The back portion is integrally formed with the side portions. A compartment is formed within the jacket for receiving padding and a brace member, with the padding being positioned between the patient and the brace member. The brace member is formed from a moldable material so as to conform to the patient's spine. The side portions of the jacket include pockets for receiving side supports to provide lateral trunk stability for the patient. Auxiliary pads can be attached to the side portions to provide additional lateral stability when the patient is sitting in a chair.
