IRGO
Fillauer's Isocentric RGO (IRGO) combines efficient ambulation, hands-free standing and dynamic hip stretching for patients with muscle weakness. It is more efficient than similar products, increasing balance and stabilizations to make movement more enjoyable. IRGO can yield better overall health by conditioning and exercising muscles during movement and increasing the user's physical activity.
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Efficient ambulation - compared to other RGOs the ISOCENTRIC® is more energy efficient. 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 Bifida and people with paraplegia are prone to hip flexion contractures. This tendency is counteracted by the fact that the brace connects the two legs in such a way that flexing of one leg causes extension of the opposite side. It is like getting therapy or stretching with every step a person takes.
CONVENTIONAL HIP JOINTS
- Very durable and user friendly design
PRE-SELECTED HIP JOINTS
- A pre-selected joint simplifies the unlocking method by breaking it down into two steps.
1. The patient pre-sets the joint to the unlock position. The patient remains stable until they are
ready to sit.
2 . With both hands holding on to their walker the patient gently stands more upright. This action
takes the load off the connecting plates and the joints snap unlocked!
WARRANTY
- 12 month warranty
