The Flexaform TLSO offers the Orthotist a pre-engineered versatile spinal module which can be modified easily to suit the needs of a wide range of TLSO applications.
Incorporating a full lower chest, extra length, and increased shell thickness in low-density polyethylene with foam liner, it is especially useful in heavy-duty situations where both control and comfort are desired.
Five years of extensive, controlled testing in Europe indicates that this brace produces excellent results for athletes, adult males, pre-operative and post-operative patients and paraplegics.
The principles of orthotic technique include moderate inter-abdominal compression, control of lumbar lordosis, immobilization of the lumbar spine, and total body contact, providing hydraulic lift resulting in reduction of the mechanical load on the spine and reasonable control of flexion/hyperextension.
