Outline General basis of spinal orthosis Classification CO, CTO, CTLO, TLSO, SO, CTLSO Prescription and things to consider
General basis of spinal orthosis Mechanism of action Indications Negative effects
Mechanism of action Trunk support • Increase in intraabdominal pressure Control of motion • Reminder >> Limit spinal motion Spinal alignment • Three-point force system
Indications Soft tissue injury Spinal instability Fracture Dislocation Post-op • Spinal deformity
Cervical orthosis CO Flexible Soft collar Hard collar Rigid Philadephia Miami J Malibu Aspen Newport CTO Halo SOMI TMBJ Yale Four-poster
Philadelphia collar Indication Unstable Fx > Surgery > Rigid CTO > Philadelphia • • Prehospital trauma immobilization Soft tissue injury Post-op stabilization Post Halo removal
SOMI ( Sterno-Occipital-Mandibular Immobilizer) @ Chest piece connected by uprights (going from ant. to post. ) to occipital plate. So, easily applied to supine pt. @ Removable chin piece so pt. can eat, wash, or shave while lying supine. Function Indication Flexion control C 1 -4 F-E-R control Good for bed restricted pt. Pressure system : control motion and distraction Stable spinal injury above C 5 Post op. management Provide supine position
Cervical control Flexion S Extension S- Lateral flexion S- Rotation S- Axial load S Flexion control C 1 -4 Only !!! F = No restriction of motion as a function of the orthosis, or minor enough to be ignored S = Restricted motion to a clinically significant extent S- = Intermediate degree of motion restriction CI = Compensatory increase in motion
