TheraTogs ULTRA Lower Extremity System

Features

• TheraTogs ULTRA Lower Extremity System helps in supporting, assisting, and strengthening the lower abdominals
• Appropriate knee joint modeling in developing infants and children
• Improved step length
• Improve load-bearing alignment
• Assist quadriceps during late swing phase
• Use joint links to influence foot alignment and function by realigning the leg segments
• Defer or avoid the need for surgical long bone correction by using physiologic adaptation and skeletal modeling capacities in daily function
• Indications:
  - Intoed gait in a child <7 years caused by excessive femoral torsion or excessive leg or foot rotation
  - Excess anterior pelvic tilt caused by excessive femoral torsion or excessive leg or foot rotation
  - Out-toed gait in a child <7 years caused by:
  ‚ 1) Diminished femoral torsion
  ‚ 2) Excessive lateral tibiofibular torsion
  ‚ 3) Hip outward rotation bias
  ‚ 4) Knee joint ligament laxity
  - Knee hyperextension in a child age <7 years, or newly acquired knee hyperextension, caused by cerebral palsy, hypotonia, or ligament laxity
  - Inadequate swing-phase knee extension in gait resulting in shortened step, caused by cerebral palsy, hemiplegia due to stroke, or traumatic brain injury
  - Genu varum or genu valgum, caused by knee joint ligament laxity
  - Persistent flexible foot pronation in hips/knees, caused by hypotonia or ligament laxity
  - Excessive flexible foot supination, caused by ligament laxity
