English
- Scissor Gait Control: The angled metal uprights prevent the legs from crossing by maintaining hip abduction, leading to a more efficient and stable gait pattern.
- Dynamic Support: Unlike rigid braces, it allows for controlled movement, supporting the child’s natural transitions between sitting and standing.
- Improved Posture & Stability: By stabilizing the pelvis, it helps improve trunk alignment and balance, which is essential for sitting and other functional activities.
- Low-Profile Pelvic Section: Specifically designed to fit comfortably without interfering with the rib cage, making it ideal for users with shorter trunks.
(SWASH) Hip Orthosis
- A dynamic hip orthosis designed to manage “scissor gait” by guiding the legs into proper abduction. It improves pelvic stability and posture, providing crucial support during sitting, standing, and walking. Its low-profile design makes it especially suitable for patients with limited space between the iliac crest and the rib cage.

A rigid, non-articulating Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFO) designed for static positioning of the foot and ankle complex. It provides maximum sagittal control to hold the ankle at a desired angle, making it ideal for non-ambulatory patients or for post-operative protection. This orthosis is not intended for walking.
- An articulating ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) featuring a mechanical ankle joint to allow for controlled movement. It is designed to assist with dorsiflexion weakness (drop foot) and control mid-foot position, while also managing knee hyperextension caused by excessive plantarflexion.
The Boston Brace is a custom-made orthosis designed to treat scoliosis without surgery. It is the most widely used scoliosis brace worldwide. This brace works by holding the spine in a corrected position and is most effective when used with physical therapy. It is clinically proven to slow or stop curve progression.
- A non-invasive spinal orthosis designed to provide rigid immobilization to the cervical and upper thoracic spine (CTO). The Minerva CTO stabilizes the head and neck, restricting motion to protect against further injury and promote healing after severe trauma or surgery.
- A dynamic functional splint designed to compensate for muscle weakness in patients with radial nerve palsy. It supports the wrist in an extended position and provides dynamic assistance to extend the fingers and thumb, allowing for effective grasp and release and improving overall hand function.
- A rigid knee orthosis designed to control mild knee hyperextension (genu recurvatum). It operates on a three-point pressure system, utilizing two anterior straps and a single posterior band to effectively limit excessive backward movement of the knee joint.
The Extended Defort AFO uses the same design as the standard model for the distal part of the orthosis. However, it features a polymeric extension that extends proximally up the calf. This model provides additional leverage length and control for those with maximum stabilization and control needs.
This design, which is effective in reducing pressure points that cause disruption to skin integrity, enhances patient comfort.
A dynamic orthosis designed for the treatment of developmental hip dysplasia in infants. It promotes healthy hip joint maturation by holding the hips in the optimal therapeutic position of flexion and abduction, often referred to as the “seated squat” or “frog-leg” position. This mimics the natural pre-birth position, creating the ideal conditions for the hip socket (acetabulum) to develop correctly around the head of the femur.
