Yale - Hip Brace

• Hip Brace with rotation inhibiting stabilisation element, inclusive lining

Mode of Action

• due to the spiral shaped structure of the "stabilisator" (thermoplastically mouldable), a centering force effects the hip joint, which holds the joint head inside the acetabulum
• the principle corresponds to the stabilisation of fixating "hip-leg-bandages" used in orthopaedics and trauma surgery
• at the same time, the dynamic muscle stabilisation of the hip joint is not prevented and the remaining motion range guarantees a smooth and lively gait pattern
• flexion of the hip joint limited to approx. 80°
• abduction limited to approx. 20°
• concentrated reduction of the rotational level

Indication

• partial immobilisation of the hip joint, for special post-surgical care of minimally invasive total endoprosthesis implant of the hip (hip-TEP)

Contraindication

• material interactions/allergies
• do not wear directly on injured, irritated or damaged skin
• sensoric discomfort (pain)
• circulatory disorders, lymphoedema
