Dynamic Lycra Suits

Before and after a Dynamic Lycra suit. The patient presented with choreo athetosis and a wind swept pattern.

Where improvement in proximal stability is required a suit may affect hip position & trunk stability and benefit patients with:

Low underlying tone
Poor sitting ability
Hyper kyphosis of the thoracic spine
Shoulder protraction linked with low tone
Movements associated with athetoid and ataxic cerebral palsy
Neuropathic Scoliosis
Mobile Idiopathic Scoliosis
Spasticity with underlying low tone

The individual orthosis designs allow prescribers to work with complex postural presentations such as neuropathic scoliosis - here the aim is to maintain or reduce the curve using a layer(s) of material panels specifically positioned to encourage the spine to realign itself. A real alternative to more rigid bracing.
