PCO-T-04

HOW DOES THE PCO-T-04  WORK?

Made from PowerElastic™ material and a rear thermoplastic corset, it provides deep core compression and stabilization of muscle tension, additionally supporting and unloading the paraspinal muscles. The corset stabilizes both in the frontal and sagittal planes, making it an excellent solution for orthopedic and neurological conditions. Additionally, lycra provides flexible and deep compression, which positively impacts body balance and significantly reduces the child’s involuntary movements.

PowerElastic™ is a very thin and very flexible fabric for the production of delicate and sophisticated orthopedic products. It consists of spandex, the action of which is responsible for proper compression and fitting of the product to the patient's body, and reduces muscle vibrations generated during increased physical exertion. It is responsible for maintaining the proper climate next to the skin and effective drainage of sweat, and its structure guarantees velvety softness to the touch. PowerElastic™ is skin-friendly fabric and has the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate.

The back of the orthosis is made from innovative AeroSpace Ⅱ™ material, providing additional stabilization and relieving pressure on key points.

AeroSpace II™ is an innovative new generation raw material. It is a distance elastic 3D knitted fabric consisting of two layers of facings and an interlacing that creates the appropriate thickness of the raw material and has relieving properties. The knitwear is made of the highest quality polyester yarn - guaranteeing high mechanical strength and spandex ensuring its proper flexibility. AeroSpace II™ has an external self-gripping layer what makes it easy to adjust each product to individual patient’s needs. This material is characterized by a very low weight, high flexibility and a very large openwork structure, allowing for very easy drainage of sweat from the body and bringing fresh air to the skin. Products made of this raw material are neutral to the secured joint, do not heat or cool it, but ensure its proper compression and fit and reduce muscle vibrations generated during physical exertion. Its thickness and 3D structure perfectly relieves the orthopedic splints, stays or other elements mounted on the product and guarantees velvety softness to the touch.

This solution allows for perfect immobilization of the spine in conditions such as Scheuermann’s Disease or scoliosis. The flexibility of the corset allows for adjusting the angle of spinal curvature after each therapy session. This immobilization effectively keeps the spine in a passive therapeutic position.

The PCO-T-04  should be used during traditional physiotherapy and occupational therapy. This solution limits involuntary movements, normalizes muscle tension, and leads to significantly better therapeutic outcomes.

It is believed that using PCO® Compression Postural Orthoses and their deep compression provides better sensory feedback to the child’s brain, increasing proprioception and body awareness. Therefore, PCO® dynamic orthoses are excellent tools in supporting treatment and combating increased muscle tension, including spasticity.
