A thoracolumbosacral and a lumbosacral orthosis with sagittal-coronal
control are disclosed. The orthoses have two rigid anterior and posterior
plastic shells. The anterior shell extends from the pelvis to the
sternum. The posterior shell extends from the pelvis and terminates just
inferior to the scapular spine. An interior surface of the anterior shell
has pressure pads that apply pressure to locations on the patient's
anterior torso and the interior surface of the posterior shell has
pressure pads that apply pressure to locations on the patient's posterior
torso when the anterior shell and the posterior shell are secured to the
patient's torso. The pressure pads may be inflatable air bladders.
