Ultra Lower Extremity System
The TheraTogs ULTRA Lower Extremity System is designed to address several alignment and functional deviations of the knee joints, developing femurs, and hip joints in an independently ambulatory child, and in an ambulatory adult with no problems related to hip or trunk stability.
The Lower Extremity System is an effective intervention for the management of neuromotor, balance and gait disorders caused by a wide range of diagnoses, including:
- Cerebral palsy
- Hypotonia
- Ligament laxity
- Hemiplegia due to stroke or TBI
| If your client has these indications… |
Caused by… |
A Lower Extremity System can help to… |
|---|---|---|
|
In-toed gait in a child <7yrs Excess anterior pelvic tilt |
Excessive femoral torsion Excessive leg or foot rotation |
Support and assist the lower abdominals; defer or avoid the need for surgical long bone correction by using physiologic adaptation and skeletal modeling capacities in daily function. |
|
Out-toed gait in a child <7yrs |
Diminished femoral torsion or excessive lateral tibiofibular torsion |
Support and assist the lower abdominals; defer or avoid the need for surgical long bone correction by using physiologic adaptation and skeletal modeling capacities in daily function. |
|
Knee hyper-extension in a child age <7yrs or newly acquired |
Cerebral palsy, hypotonia, ligament laxity |
Improved step length; promote appropriate knee joint modeling |
|
Inadequate swing-phase knee extension in gait resulting in shortened step |
Cerebral palsy, hemiplegia due to stroke or traumatic brain injury |
Assist quadriceps during late swing phase |
|
Genu varum or genu valgum |
Knee joint ligament laxity |
Improve load-bearing alignment |
|
Persistent flexible foot pronation in hips/knees |
Hypotonia, ligament laxity |
Use joint links to influence foot alignment and function by realigning the leg segments. |
|
Excessive flexible foot supination |
Ligament laxity |
