SWASH® GO
(Replaces previous SWASH Low Profile. A “Conversion Table” can be found below in SUPPORT DOCUMENTS)
Swash is a unique dynamic hip brace that allows controlled variable abduction and dynamic movement in all three planes of motion. The goal of SWASH® is to prevent excessive hip adduction when sitting, standing, and walking as usual in cerebral palsy. However, perhaps the most important benefit the SWASH® offers is guidance for hip alignment.
SWASH GO is the choice for the standing and ambulatory patient, when primary goal is to control scissoring gait and when patient has limited space between the iliac crest and the rib cage. It also encourages greater trunk extension for improved postural positioning.
A complete SWASH orthosis requires 3 parts: a Pelvic Section, Thigh Cuffs, & Uprights. Please order each item separately.
SWASH GO Pelvic section has an aluminum posterior frame that extends from approximately L2/L3 to S1/S2, with an iliac extension.
Uprights are available in two versions: 115° = narrow sitting base / 123° = wide sitting base
Recommended Range Of Application
When primary goal is to control scissoring gait and when patient has limited space between the iliac crest and the rib cage.
Measurement
At the level of the ASIS. Ideal is to fit the orthosis at mid-pelvic girdle to obtain good pelvic stability. See "Product Options" below for Sizing Guide.
