TLSO v Diaper

Posted By: Gretchen Wellman on July 3, 2012

Hello Listserve!



I have an involved little guy (who is still mobile) in a soft TLSO with rigid internal frame for scoliosis. Fit is good, he can sit, etc. We do have a problem in regards to toileting as he has a diaper and Mom is frustrated about taking everything off in order to change him. We've tried putting it on the outside of the orthosis and also just loosening the bottom strap for changing but she insists it doesn't work. Any thoughts on troubleshooting this?
