Lightweight, cool, body-hugging, and looking similar to an athletic performance garment, this Spiral Thigh Brace is an ideal way to improve walking and running technique while your child feels and looks athletic in a garment that looks like activewear.
The Spiral Thigh Brace is a flexible bracing garment used as a gait retraining and biofeedback tool. It is used as part of a management plan for intoeing and knock knee positions resulting from femoral anteversion or excessive femoral internal rotation of the hips and thighs.
- 7/8 length compression pants with a series of overlaid elasticized straps.
- Stabilizes the pelvis and positions the hips and thighs in a biomechanically more efficient position.
- The directional pressure reduces excessive internal rotation at the hip and works as a biofeedback tool as the child gets to experience a more normalized walking pattern.
- The garment is usually worn a minimum of 4 to 5 hours a day, in the period of the day when the child is most active, for a period of months (starting with 3 months).
Suitable as an aid to management of:
- Intoeing
- Knock knee position
- Pigeon toe
- Tip toe gait
- Mild scissoring gaits
