Cosa Active

De Cosa Active/Junior is een zogenaamde heupabductieorthese. Bij een schaargang voorkomt de orthese het kruisen van de knieën en zorgt door het abductiekussen voor stabieler staan en zitten. Daardoor hoeft u of uw kind minder kracht te gebruiken om grotere afstanden af te leggen.

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
