PCO-T-14

PCO-T-14

Dynamic compression trunk and pelvis brace PCO-T-14 increases stabilization and postural control for children with neurological disorders and enables postural correction. The orthosis provides people with sensorimotor disorders with highly effective postural improvement, stability, precision of movement, joint stabilization and prevents muscle contracture.

HOW DOES THE PCO-T-14 DYNAMIC TRUNK AND PELVIS BRACE WORK?

Designed in collaboration with paediatric physiotherapists, it provides deep, core compression and stabilization of muscle tone, while additionally stabilizing and relieving the spinal muscles. By improving postural control, the somatosensory system is activated. Improved trunk control leads to the effective use of the upper and lower limbs in daily functioning.

The improved core control also allows the child to be physically active by reducing energy consumption.

The waist is equipped with a system of elastic compression straps that correct the child’s posture with gentle, long-lasting elastic support. In this way, the effects developed manually during therapy are maintained.

In addition, the orthosis has compression shorts, covering the pelvis. The constant compression of the pelvis provides the child with adequate feedback and allows the pelvis to remain in an intermediate position. In this way, the child’s pelvis is not in a backward tilt when sitting or in a forward tilt when standing.

Made from the soft PowerElastic™ material, it provides deep, core compression and stabilizes muscle tension.

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 PCO-T-13 compression trunk and pelvis brace provides stabilization in both the frontal and sagittal planes and is therefore an excellent solution for neurological conditions. The material provides elastic and deep compression, which has a positive effect on improving body balance, as well as significantly reducing the child’s involuntary movements, which is why the orthosis is suitable for paediatric physiotherapy such as PNF, NDT Bobath or SI sensory integration.
