Townsend custom Polio knee braces are designed for post-polio patients
or to control severe recurvatum. The brace is fabricated with an anterior
thigh shell and posterior calf shell.
The Synergistic Suspension Strap on Polio Braces attaches to the outside
of the posterior calf shell and wraps at a strategic angle around the inside
of the uprights. The strap also provides adjustable hyperextension control. |
Medical professionals who have patients with severe instabilities now
have the option of ordering our existing Drop Lock joints or our Trigger
Lock joints on Townsend's locking brace.
The Trigger Lock joints are a versatile, patient-friendly hinge design that
is potentially easier for the patient to lock and unlock. The joints can
also be set by the patient to function in a free motion position. If you
would like to see a sample of the Trigger Lock, please speak with your Townsend
Design representative. |
The most common clinical indication for Townsend's Elbow brace is for
protection of hyperextension injuries. Any patient with an elbow injury
where range of motion control is desired can benefit from the use of this
rigid shell, dual hinge design. The brace is often prescribed to stabilize
the elbow joint of competitive athletes, allowing them to perform with injuries
that may otherwise cause them to be sidelined or compete in a diminished
capacity. |
