A TLSO (Thoracolumbar Sacral Orthosis) brace is a common orthotic device used in the United States for treating scoliosis, particularly during adolescent growth phases. Scoliosis, characterized by an unnatural sideways curvature and rotation of the spine, tends to progress rapidly during adolescence. A TLSO brace aims to halt this progression by applying specific pressures along the spine to encourage straighter alignment. Typically, these braces are recommended for children and adolescents with moderate scoliosis, defined as having a spinal curvature between 25 and 45 degrees.
The most prevalent TLSO brace in the U.S. is the Boston brace, designed for efficiency rather than effectiveness. It utilizes a three-point pressure system to attempt slowing the curvature's progression, without addressing the condition's three-dimensional nature or its rotational component. These braces are not fully customized, often leading to discomfort, reduced compliance, and potential weakening of the spine and breathing difficulties due to the brace's restrictive nature.
In contrast, modern corrective braces, like the ScoliBrace, aim to address these limitations. They are designed to correct the curvature by acknowledging scoliosis as a three-dimensional problem and employing state-of-the-art technology for a custom fit. These braces can be used across a broader range of patients, including adults, and focus on correcting the spine's position rather than merely slowing progression.
Corrective bracing represents a significant shift from traditional methods, offering a more effective treatment approach by making structural changes to the body. This contrasts with older TLSO designs, which may not produce lasting improvements and can even hinder other treatment efforts if poorly designed or fitted.
In conclusion, while TLSO braces like the Boston brace have been standard in treating adolescent scoliosis, their effectiveness is limited. Modern corrective braces offer a promising alternative, focusing on genuine correction rather than temporary containment. This approach not only aims to improve spinal alignment but also enhances the overall body shape, offering a more sustainable solution to managing scoliosis.
