We will also explore how often physiotherapists’ clinical judgement on appropriate brace type is changed by plain X-ray findings. A multi-centre, primary care, randomised (1:1), parallel-group, superiority trial with internal pilot. The trial protocol has been co produced with stakeholders including patients. Participants will be recruited from National Health Service (NHS) general practice, physiotherapy services and from self-referral within the community following an awareness raising campaign. Supportive lumbar orthosis, lumbar-sacral orthosis, and thoracic-lumbar-sacral orthosis are considered experimental and investigational for other indications because their effectiveness for indications other than the ones listed above has not been established.  Following a strain\/sprain, supportive lumbar orthosis, lumbar-sacral orthosis, and thoracic-lumbar-sacral orthosis (back supports, lumbosacral supports, support vests) are used to render support to an injured site of the back.  The main effect is to support the injured muscle and reduce discomfort.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Orthopedic Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51647004442756,"sku":null,"price":2236.08,"currency_code":"GHS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/0556\/9924\/files\/VALGUS-KNEE-BRACE.jpg?v=1773874854","url":"https:\/\/shopbeta.com.gh\/products\/valgus-knee-brace-short","provider":"Shopbeta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
