The OrthoLux LSO with Rigid Anterior & Posterior Panels is a modular back brace made with soft, breathable fabric. The unisex back brace features four rigid-polymer panels to restrict mobility comfortably while also providing a stable torso support system.
The OrthoLux LSO's modular design provides ample patient comfort while providing good spinal and torso stabilization and support. The anterior panel allows the patient to increase abdominal compression. The posterior panel accommodates the patient’s natural spine curvature (lordosis).
The OrthoLux LSO's soft, tri-laminate fabric is breathable, moisture wicking and features four pockets containing the rigid molded polymer panels. Hook and loop panels separately attach each piece.
Medical back braces, also referred to as abdominal supports, are designed to provide external spinal support while limiting the mobility of the spine and torso. Back braces come in two types of systems: rigid and soft. The rigid systems such as the OrthoLux LSO can limit mobility up to 50-percent while also providing significant support to the spine and torso. The soft brace systems also provide support and allow more mobility than rigid systems, but are designed to limit forward spinal movement. Physicians prescribe either type of orthotics to facilitate a patient’s healing process either pre or post-operative or following an injury or trauma. Individuals should consult with their doctors about which type of brace is best for them.
The OrthoLux LSO with rigid anterior and posterior panels offers patients the following:
The OrthoLux LSO with Rigid Anterior & Posterior Panels is indicated for numerous disorders and pathologies including, but not limited to:
We recommend individuals wear an undershirt or t-shirt underneath the brace to help maintain the brace clean. Patients can wear back braces without an undershirt but could find the braces become dirty more quickly. OrthoLux makes the braces in both TLSO or LSO styles and numerous sizes and styles.

I have multilevel disc degeneration, a lumbarization, and scoliosis, and I’ve been wearing corset-type back braces for 35 years. This brace is much more supportive and is much more comfortable to wear. It’s highly adjustable, and it’s easy to loosen and tighten once you get it on. I would give it five stars if it weren’t so hard on my old, arthritic hands to pull the velcro panels apart in order to take it off and put it on. But the velcro connections are what makes it so adjustable.
