Hip orthotic fixator is a medical device that can be worn externally. The purpose of its design is to stabilize, control, or correct affected body parts. Orthopedic fixators are decided by doctors after diagnosis, and doctors usually consult with prosthetic professionals to choose the appropriate instrument. They will choose the type of hip orthotic fixator based on your diagnosis and actual symptoms.
The hip abduction orthopedic fixator has an abduction pad that can restrict certain modes of movement and increase stability when walking, standing, or sitting. If the hip orthopedic fixator cannot solve your stability problem, you may need to wear a hip knee orthopedic fixator or a hip knee ankle foot orthopedic fixator (HKAFO).
Hip protectors have lower limitations than hip orthotic fixators. They are made of high elasticity or semi elasticity materials. But they still have a stabilizing effect because they compress the hip joint and slightly restrict it. Hip protectors are commonly used to reduce joint pressure, which can alleviate existing discomfort and serve as a preventive measure.
Hip orthotic fixators are mainly used to treat acute pain or discomfort, or to treat hip dislocation. Hip abduction orthodontic fixators are commonly used for infantile cerebral palsy (ICP). This disease can affect the nervous and muscular systems of the body, often accompanied by spasmodic contractions, causing the patient to cross their legs ("scissor gait"). The abduction pad in the hip orthopedic fixator can prevent the user from crossing the knee joint and provide stability to the patient during standing and sitting, while also stabilizing the gait pattern.
Hip orthotic fixators are also beneficial for patients who use wheelchairs temporarily or for a long time. The integrated pad can expand the seating contact surface without the need for a separate abductor.
Special orthopedic fixators and protectors can help infants with hip dysplasia, acetabular malformations, or developmental disorders. And these diseases mainly occur because the baby lacks space in the uterus or is in an unsuitable position. However, developmental dysplasia of the hip joint can be treated. Hip orthotic fixators can align joints in their normal positions, allowing them to develop and mature normally.
