3. To attach the posterior panel to the belt, thread the yellow attachment
strap through the "H" shaped slot on the posterior panel (Fig. 2). For
different panel-belt attachment types and methods, please refer to
QRC 0038, supplied as an insert along with this manual.
4. The TLSO product is supplied with the Pectoral/Axillary Strap
configuration (Fig. 3). Other brace configurations are possible with
this product:
– Over-The-Shoulder Strap configuration (Fig. 4): Remove the
axillary straps from their keyholes on the shoulder portion of the
PTE and discard.
– PTE only brace configuration (Fig. 5): This product includes the
PTE and axillary straps only (does not include the shoulder straps
or ATE). note: For application of this brace configuration, follow
instructions below disregarding any steps pertaining to the ATE.
BRACE APPLICATION – SUPINE
note: Össur recommends applying this product while the patient is in a
supine position.
1. Logroll the patient on to their side.
2. Position the back panel centered over the spine with the bottom of
the rigid posterior panel at approximately the sacrococcygeal junction
(Fig. 6).
3. To size the PTE, position it so that the shoulder extensions rest on
top of the upper trapezius. Note the number corresponding to the
keyhole which lines up with the black posts in the posterior panel (Fig.
7a). Remove the brace from the patient and assemble the PTE by
aligning the black posts with the keyholes in the PTE that correspond
with the correct number and slide the PTE sideways to lock in place
(Fig. 7b). Place the PTE plugs into the hole next to the PTE post in
order to prevent unintended dislodging (Fig. 7c)
note: for shorter patients, the PTE can be slid behind the yellow
attachment strap on the lumbar belt.
4. While the patient is on their side, take the long end of the axillary
strap on the upper shoulder and wrap it through the patient's axilla,
adjusting the padding as necessary. Bring it across the back and tuck
the end under the patient at the level of the waist. The strap should
affix to the belt at this location (Fig. 8). Log roll the patient back into
the supine position.
5. Wrap the belt around the patient's waist and temporarily secure the
belt with the overlap closures (Fig. 9).
6. Log roll the patient to the opposite side and repeat step 4 with the
other axillary strap. Do not tighten the straps at this time. (note:
Disregard if not using axillary straps.) Log roll the patient back into
the supine position.
7. Loosen the overlap closure and attach the ATE to the belt by threading
the blue attachment strap through the "H" shaped slot on the
anterior panel. It may be necessary to slide the ATE up to expose the
anterior panel slot (Fig. 10). For different panel-belt attachment types
and methods, please refer to QRC 0038, supplied as an insert along
with this manual.
8. Re-secure the overlap closures, adjusting the posterior and/or
anterior panels as needed to achieve the correct fit and positioning
(Fig. 9). The posterior panel should be centered on the spine with the
