Pelvis hip orthotics

<p>When your baby is diagnosed with what is known as hip dysplasia – the delayed development of the acetabulum or hip joint socket – your doctor will talk to you about suitable treatment methods and the duration of therapy.<br />The Tübingen hip flexion and abduction orthosis according to Dr Bernau establishes the ideal conditions to ensure that your child’s hip joint matures completely and without any problems. The hip position that is most favourable to development is known as the “seated squat position”. It is the same position which the child assumes in the womb before birth. The orthosis flexes your infant’s hip joints at an angle in excess of 90 degrees and spreads them slightly. Even if this appears unusual at first, it is just an extension of the pre-birth phase. This allows your baby’s hips to mature under the same favourable conditions as they would in the womb.</p>
