3 Application
3.1 Indications for use
The orthosis is intended exclusively for orthotic fittings of the hip and exclusively for contact with
intact skin.
The orthosis must be used in accordance with the indications.
3.2 Indications
• Diplegia, spastic
• Hip dysplasia
• Hip joint subluxation, congenital
• Hypotonicity
• Tetraplegia, spastic
3.3 Contraindications
3.3.1 Absolute Contraindications
• Hip joint luxation
3.3.2 Relative Contraindications
The following indications require consultation with a physician: skin diseases/injuries, inflamma­
tion, prominent scars that are swollen, reddening and hyperthermia of the fitted limb/body area;
lymphatic flow disorders, including unclear soft tissue swelling distant to the body area to which
the medical device will be applied; sensory and circulatory disorders in the leg area.
Consulting a doctor is also required in case of contractures and shortening in the area of the
lumbar spine and the lower limbs.
3.4 Effects
In case of neuromuscular weakness, the orthosis prevents excessive adduction while lying down,
sitting, standing and walking through the use of pads between the legs. The orthosis enables a
firm basis for sitting and standing, thereby improving the torso position and leading to better bal­
ance control.
In patients who are able to walk, the orthosis improves pelvic symmetry and increases knee free­
dom. The scissor gait is reduced and more physiological walking is promoted.
By using the orthosis, patients who are unable to walk do not have to use separate abductors in
the wheelchair. Hip abduction with the orthosis improves balance while sitting by establishing a
broader seat basis. Using the hands for support is no longer necessary.
