Features & Benefits

Efficient ambulation - compared to other RGOs the
ISOCENTRIC® is more energy effi cient. This saves
exertion for people with muscle weakness. Also for
patients prone to weight gain the ease of walking
encourages more physical activities. The hip muscles that
are used for walking are exercised and conditioned as the
person walks in the brace.

“Hands-free” standing, balance and support - Wearers
can have their hands available for activities of function
while standing. The brace not only stabilizes the hip,
knee and ankle joints but it also balances (positions) the
person so they can stand without the use of crutches or
walkers.

Dynamic “hip stretching” - Many Spina Bifi da
and people with paraplegia are prone to hip fl exion
contractures. This tendency is counteracted by the fact
that the brace connects the two legs in such a way that
fl exing of one leg causes extension of the opposite side.
It is like getting therapy or stretching with every step a
person takes.
