The Thoraco-Lumbo-Sacral Orthosis (TLSO), also called a Boston Brace, is the most common variety of scoliosis brace. It is used to treat curves in the lumbar or thoraco-lumbar spine. The brace is custom-molded from plastic to fit the childâs body.
When adding braces to an enclosure always add the displacement of the extra wood to the gross box volume as it is designed. Another type of brace, called a cross brace, should be used in any span that is 12 (30cm) or more to prevent panel vibration.
