KNEE AND HIP ORTHOSIS WITH ROM ADJUSTMENT
Flaccid paralysis and paresis
Peripheral nervous system injury may result in flaccid paralysis and deep sensibility disorders. The reason can be infantile paralysis (poliomyelitis), injuries (spine crash or fracture), toxins (alcohol, diabetes) and degeneration conditions.
Poor myotonus (muscle weakness) is typical symptom of peripheral paresis. Disease of peripheral nerves and muscles are characterized by, together with flaccid paralysis, fast and big myatrophy (denervation).
We created knee and hip orthosis OKD-14 for patients who have problems with lower limb stabilization and correct muscles work.

This self-gripping function of ActiveDistance™ provides wide range of adjustment and perfect fitting. What is important, ActiveDistance™ is non-elastic fabric so it stabilizes your body in a perfect way. Thanks to using the comfort foam, the device is really soft what influences on the comfort of using it. Waterproof material.
In addition, hip brace has drop-lock with ROM adjustment in every 15 degrees. Also, our 1RE splint is 1-axial splint with hypertension control – capability to adjust 15 and 30 degrees of extension. Our lightweight splints are made of high quality aluminium with carbon fibres and provide excellent stabilization.
