Which lumbar brace is described as anchored by pelvic and thoracic bands with two posterior uprights, two lateral uprights, and an anterior corset?

• A. LSO Plastic jacket
• B. TLSO Jewett
• C. Cervical Soft Collar
• D. LSO Knight brace with pelvic and thoracic bands, two posterior uprights, two lateral uprights and an anterior corset

Answer: (D)

This question is testing your ability to recognize lumbar orthosis designs by their structural features. The described brace is the Knight LSO. It is anchored at the pelvis and the upper thorax with a pelvic band and a thoracic band, and it uses four uprights—two posterior and two lateral—to create a rigid frame. An anterior corset adds forward support and helps transfer forces to the trunk. This combination produces a stable, immobilizing thoracolumbar support that limits motion across the lumbar and lower thoracic spine. Other braces have different configurations—for example, a general plastic jacket or a hyperextension-focused design—so they don’t match this exact arrangement. The cervical soft collar is outside the lumbar region entirely.
