Title: Tübingen Hip Abduction Orthosis for Infants & Toddlers – OTTO BOCK

The OTTO BOCK Tübingen Hip Abduction Orthosis offers a simple yet effective solution for treating hip dysplasia in infants and toddlers. Developed by Prof. Bernauer, this innovative orthosis features a user-friendly design allowing for easy at-home adjustments, ensuring optimal comfort and support.

Key Features:

• Adjustable Design: Easily customizable at home to accommodate individual needs. A unique "bead-string" system allows precise adjustment of hip flexion angles, while a central spreader bar controls the degree of abduction.
