SWASH® STEADY
(Replaces previous SWASH Classic. 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 Steady offers maximum trunk control, the choice when patient is primarily non-ambulatory (GMFCS IV-V), has low trunk tone and/or very limited trunk control strength or when greater pelvic coverage triggers more desirable neuro-sensory motor response. In sitting, the base is widened for support, which helps the child to get an upright balanced posture and at the same time stretch the adductor muscles.
A complete SWASH orthosis requires a Pelvic Section, Thigh Cuffs, and Uprights. Please order each item separately.
SWASH Steady Pelvic Section has a polyethylene pelvic section that extends from L2/L3 to distal margin of the sacrum, providing maximum thoracic and pelvic support.
Uprights are available in 2 different versions:
115° = narrow sitting base / 123° = wide sitting base
Recommended Range Of Application:
When maximum trunk control is required, i.e., candidates who lack muscle strength or upper body control to sit upright. When patient is primarily non-ambulatory (GMFCS IV - V). When the greater pelvic coverage triggers more desirable neuro-sensory motor response.
Measurement:
At level of the nature waist for maximum trunk stability.
