Leg orthoses

Hip orthoses

The so-called “human position” is the favoured position for all babies while they are still in the womb. In this position, they bend their legs at an angle of over 90° and spread them slightly to the left and right. If this isn’t completely successful, for example because conditions become too tight the womb or the position is unfavourable, there may be a developmental delay in the area around the acetabulum, or socket of the thigh bone – which is known as hip dysplasia. The Tubingen hip flexion and abduction orthosis creates excellent conditions to make up for this delay after birth. The orthosis brings your baby’s legs into the optimal position and gives them more time for their joints to develop.
The orthosis is available in three sizes and can be adapted individually as the child grows. The Tübingen hip flexion and abduction orthosis also stands out for its ease of use. The orthosis is easy to put on and take off thanks to the practical closures. It is corrosion resistant and washable. The terry cloth covers on the shoulder harness can be removed and washed.
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. 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.
