Introduction[edit | edit source]
Spinal orthoses are external devices applied used in the management of spinal dysfunctions. The goals of spinal orthoses are to support weak muscle groups, correct a deformed body part, protection and spinal stabilization in cases of instability related to degenerative changes that result from aging and in postoperative situations to facilitate healing. Spinal orthoses are applied because of the following reasons: congenital disorders, trauma, various disease conditions such as ligamentous, osseous or musculotendinous diseases, and in pain management. Also, orthoses can be applied after surgery for traumatic spinal injuries or for conditions without any cause such as scoliosis.
Following surgery, the first application of spinal orthosis is to protect the surgical site from external disruption while healing occurs while the second goal is to hinder the natural progression of the condition. In pain management, it is used in relieving the severity of the painful condition. In some congenital disorders, orthoses can provide postural support and to improve overall functional such as activity of daily living (ADL).
Inaddition, in choosing spinal orthoses for management of spinal dysfunction, the clinician's priority should be to determine which spinal motion to control.
