Summary of Contents for NHS TLSO

  • Page 1 Thoraco-lumbar spinal orthosis (TLSO) Parents’ guide...
  • Page 2 What is a TLSO spinal brace? A TLSO spinal brace is a thermoplastic custom made brace made to control your child’s spinal curvature. It can be designed to fasten down the front (one piece), or down the sides (two piece).
  • Page 3 How do I put the brace on? The brace should be worn over a thin cotton close fitting vest or t-shirt. Turning this inside out can avoid rubbing from the seams. Other clothing can then be worn over the top of the brace to reduce pressure under it.
  • Page 4 To apply a two piece spinal brace • Put the back part of the brace onto the bed then lie your child onto this. Make sure their waist is lined up with the waist of the brace. • Lay the front half of the brace on top of their chest.
  • Page 5 Special considerations If your child has a gastrostomy, a hole will be cut out of their brace to allow for this. A small hole will also need to be cut into their vest to pass the feeding tube through the hole in the brace.
