We are seeing several referrals for extension TLSO's to treat Scheuermanns
Kyphosis on 15-16 year old males who are in there end stages of growth. The
doctor is hoping to provide some correction with an extension TLSO, if
possible, or to prevent additional kyphosis development. The challenge is
one male is on the high school golf team and the other is active member of
his high school band. We are reluctant to put these young active males in
claim shell TLSO's because of the immobilization factor and our main goal is
to hyper extend the thoracic area. Please provide some examples of low
profile extension TLSO styles to treat Scheuermanns Kyphosis.
Thank you for all responses.
