15 Nov Been told that your child has low muscle tone
Does your child feel and look floppy when they walk or run
Is your child tripping over themselves often or complaining of being tired when they have to do exercises
If you have answered Yes to any of the above statements, then your child might benefit from a Dynamic Garment Orthosis. A Dynamic Garment Orthosis is a made-to-measure medical orthoses that is customised designed for each child to re-position their posture and provide support so that each child can learn to move better. The Dynamic Garment Orthosis can come as only a shoulder to wrist suit for conditions such as Erb’s Palsy to full body suit with leggings for conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Hypotonia, Retts Syndrome and Scoliosis. Each Dynamic Garment Orthoses uses strategic reinforcement and biomechanical panelling to help provide the child with the appropriate support and correction where needed to allow them to increase their core strength and trunk control to learn to walk, run, hop, skip and jump better.
The Dynamic Garment Orthosis is worn under a child’s daily clothes so it is not visible over their clothes. Children who wear the Dynamic Garment Orthosis daily over 6 – 9 months will experience an increase in core strength, increase efficiency in their walking and running patterns which translates to a child with increased confidence who is able to increase their participation in the school playground and socially outside of school with their friends.
