Dynamic Lycra Shorts & Leggings

Where improvement in pelvic stability, hip & knee extension and the treatment of gait patterns is required, these orthoses may benefit patients with:

• Diplegia - flexed pattern walking
• Low tone
• Hemiplegia

The individual orthosis designs allow prescribers to specifically treat the affected limb independently.

At initial fitting some internal rotation was still evident, a second layer of reinforcement was applied. After 2½ years the leggings were withdrawn.

The aim of these orthoses may be to encourage a more upright standing position, reduce a ‘scissor’ gait / internal rotation of the leg and reduce walking effort.

Leggings may be used in conjunction with other orthoses such as Ankle Foot Orthosis, Dynamic Ankle Foot Orthosis and insoles.
