Hip Abduction

 

These are used used for a variety of applications, including post-surgery, post-trauma, and chronic dislocation. Applications are for all age groups, including pediatrics. They incorporate a bi-planar joint, allowing range of motion restriction into flexion/extension as well as abduction/adduction. Typically the hardware only extends along the affected side, resulting in a left or right side thigh cuff. In some cases the hardware is bilateral. The specific settings are generally indicated by the physician.

These are usually custom fitted.
