Cosa Active
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.

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

Cosa Active – Unique hip abduction orthosis
The Cosa Active and the Cosa Junior improve torso control and stabilise 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.
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.
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/Junior in order to stabilise the gait pattern.
The Cosa Active/Junior can be worn during the day and at night. It can help to prevent the knees from rubbing together at night in particular.
The Cosa Active/Junior can be easily washed in the machine at 40 . The pads can be removed for this purpose.
