Abstract: A lumbo-sacral orthopedic brace includes a rear member including a back portion and side portions. The brace also includes a front member. A closure is provided for adjustably and releasably securing the front member to the rear member and the closure includes straps coupled to the rear member. The straps are adapted to collectively span the front member and include hook and loop fastener elements to allow cooperating straps to be fastened to one another. The straps include finger loops into which the user or wearer can slip his or her fingers to conveniently manipulate the straps into position. In particular, the finger loops allow one to easily stretch out the straps to cinch the brace tight and to secure the straps to one another in a quick and easy manner.
