Cosa Active

La Cosa Active/Junior es lo que se denomina una órtesis de abducción de cadera. En caso de marcha en tijera, la órtesis evita que se crucen las rodillas a la vez que permite andar y sentarse de forma más estable gracias a los acolchados de abducción. De esta forma, usted o su hijo podrán recorrer distancias mayores con menos esfuerzo.

The Cosa Active/Junior 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/Junior 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
