An anterior bending posture of the trunk during walking is often seen among the elderly commonly due to weakened thoraco-lumbar and gluteal muscles. For the management of this debilitating condition, the authors have developed a modified design of thoraco-lumbosacral orthosis (TLSO). Incorporated in this device are pockets for the accommodation of lead weights, which are located posteriorly at the level of the lumbar region and an elasticated anterior abdominal band. The results and level of patient acceptance achieved with the use of this brace have both been excellent.
行走时躯干前屈姿势在老年人中很常见，通常是由于胸腰段和臀肌力量减弱所致。为了治疗这种使人衰弱的病症，作者研发了一种改良设计的胸腰骶矫形器（TLSO）。该装置设有用于放置铅块的口袋，位于腰椎水平的后方，还有一条弹性前腹带。使用这种支具所取得的结果和患者接受程度都非常好。
