How our products work

How our products work

Our patented made-to-measure Dynamic Movement Orthoses® are specifically designed for the management of the physical effects of neurological, genetic and musculoskeletal conditions. We use the latest CADCAM technology combined with traditional tailoring techniques to ensure each product matches the patient’s exact measurements.

Dynamic Movement Orthoses® use a specially designed compression fabric which is soft, flexible and strong which helps realign the body and influence both muscle tone and the proprioceptive system. Our orthoses work using strategically placed powernet reinforcement panelling which positions the body into improved postural alignment.

This new biomechanical state, combined with enhanced proprioception, stimulates and adjusts the neuro-sensory system training muscles to work with improved tone, strength and performance.

Our products can be used to help manage the physical effects of a number of conditions including:

·         Cerebral Palsy

·         Scoliosis

·         Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

·         Muscular Dystrophy

·         Stroke (CVA)

·         Retts Syndrome

·         Hemiplegia

·         Spina Bifida

·         Quadriplegia

·         Hypermobility

·         Ataxias

·         Exceptionally high or low muscle tone

·         Dystonias

·         Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes

Dynamic Movement Orthoses® offer a number of physical benefits to the user including:

·         Improved posture

·         Pain relief

·         Patient comfort

·         Improved movement control

·         Decreased associated reactions

·         Improved proximal and/or distal function

·         Enhanced function

·         Reduced involuntary movements

·         Enhanced therapy sessions

·         Greater proprioception

·         Improve mobility

·         Decrease fatigue
