It combines a "warm-and-shape" back support system with the TheraTogs GPTA posture correction suit to create a customized, integrated orthosis. In addition, the back support system can be used as a separate oneAccessory kit independent ofTheraTogs GPTA posture correction suitcan be ordered, providing clinics and patients with additional flexibility in adjusting and using orthopedic devices.
 
Main advantages:
The Dragonfly TLSO System provides comprehensive therapeutic support through:
 
Comfortable wrapping: Encloses the hips and torso with a comfortable, breathable undergarment system that provides somatosensory feedback and flexible stability without compromising ease of toilet use.
Support for the spine and torso: A lightweight, yet rigid panel that is custom molded to the iliac ridges serves as an anchor for spinal support on the pelvis.
Strengthening and supporting the abdominal muscles: A front apron part, the Anterior Apron, fixes the Dragonfly system and at the same time supports the lumbar spine through intracavitary pressure.
 
Indications and Applications:
Trunk hypotonia
Forward head tilt due to reduced muscle strength in the trunk and neck
Flexible kyphosis
Flexible lordosis
Excessive pelvic tilt
Core muscle weakness
Hip muscle weakness
Flexible kyphosis after laminectomy

How can the Dragonfly TLSO have a therapeutic effect:
Improving posture for functional limb use
Limiting excessive trunk movements in the sagittal and frontal planes
Shortening and retraining of the trunk extensor muscles
Shortening and retraining of the abdominal muscles
Improving respiratory capacity by reducing flexible kyphosis
Creating vertical compression through the vertebral bodies to optimize bone growth and density
Reducing pressure on the lumbar discs due to the intracavitary pressure exerted by the anterior apron
