SWASH® STEADY PELVIC SECTION (Replaces previous SWASH Classic) Has a polyethylene pelvic section that extends from L2/L3 to distal margin of the sacrum, providing maximum thoracic and pelvic support. Patients with low trunk tone and/or very limited trunk control strength may benefit from the increased posterior and lateral support this design offers. Recommended Range Of Application: When maximum trunk control is required, i.e., candidates who lack muscle strength or upper body control to sit upright. When patient is primarily non-ambulatory (GMFCS IV - V). When the greater pelvic coverage triggers more desirable neuro-sensory motor response. Measurement: At level of the nature waist for maximum trunk stability. Other: A complete SWASH orthosis requires a Pelvic Section, Thigh Cuffs, and Uprights. Please order each item separately.
