28L101 - Pelvis hip orthotics

Cosa Active

Inconspicuously effective

The Cosa Active is referred to as a hip abduction orthosis. If the patient has a scissor gait, the orthosis prevents crossing of the knees and allows for more stable standing and sitting thanks to the abduction pads. This means you or your child need to expend less energy to cover greater distances.

The Cosa Active is referred to as a hip abduction orthosis. If the patient has a scissor gait, the orthosis prevents crossing of the knees and allows for more stable standing and sitting thanks to the abduction pads. This means you or your child need to expend less energy to cover greater distances.

The functional orthosis also promotes a physiological gait pattern thanks to the improved pelvic symmetry and increased freedom of movement for the knees. The Cosa Active is also helpful for those who use a wheelchair – it makes additional wheelchair pommels unnecessary. You can use the orthosis from childhood all the way up to adulthood.

  • Prevents the “scissor gait”, as is typically seen in types of infantile cerebral palsy
  • The orthosis can easily be worn together with ankle-foot orthoses
  • Various standard sizes for children and adults
  • Your O&P professional can individually adapt the pads and straps

Unaufällig effektiv
Inconspicuously effective

The Cosa Active and the Cosa Junior improve torso control and stabilize standing and sitting with pads between the legs. Mobility is also increased through reduction of the scissor gait (spastic crossing of the legs). The freedom of knee movement results in an improved gait pattern overall.

Hoher Tragekomfort
High level of wearer comfort

Breathable, soft material, straps that can be individually positioned as well as the zip (Cosa Active) for easy donning and doffing: All this ensures a high level of wearer comfort.

Vielfältige Kombinationsmöglichkeiten
A broad range of combination possibilities

The orthosis makes additional wheelchair pommels unnecessary, as the abduction pads provide a wider sitting base when the user is seated as well. Lower leg orthoses can be easily combined with the Cosa Active in order to stabilize the gait pattern.

Tag und Nacht tragbar
Suitable for day or nighttime wear

The Cosa Active can be worn during the day and at night. It can help to prevent the knees from rubbing together at night in particular.

Einfache Pflege
Easy care

The Cosa Active can be easily washed in the machine at 40 ℃/104 °F. The pads can be removed for this purpose.
