Allard SWASH Go
The SWASH Go (Replaces previous SWASH Low Profile) has an aluminium posterior frame that extends from approximately L2/L3 to S1/S2, with an iliac extension. What makes SWASH unique to other hip orthoses is that it offers controlled variable abduction. It is engineered with a complex series of angles to maintain good hip alignment as the uprights follow the pathways of motion of the femurs.

SWASH
Sitting, Walking And Standing Hip Orthosis
While standing or walking, SWASH provides just enough abduction to prevent scissoring and medial femoral rotation. As the hips are flexed to assume the sitting position, it automatically further abducts the hips to create a tripod base for enhanced sitting stability and more upright posture. The most visible benefits of the SWASH are readily apparent by improvements in sitting and standing posture and stability, and for the ambulatory user, improvement in gait. However, perhaps the most important benefit the SWASH offers is guidance for hip alignment.
Recommended Range Of Application
When the primary goal is to control scissoring gait and when the patient has limited space between the iliac crest and the rib cage.
Measurement
At the level of the ASIS. Ideal is to fit the orthosis at mid-pelvic girdle to obtain good pelvic stability. Check the specifications tab for sizing guide.
Circumstance size in specifications tab refers to the pelvic section circumstance.
Features
- An anatomically shaped metal pelvic section rests over the pelvis and is secured in position by attaching to a small plastic reinforced abdominal pad
- Double strap front closure allows symmetrical application
- 8 mm diameter uprights in all sizes - extra strong for extra high tone
- Interchangeable thigh cuff sizes
- Overlap design thigh cuff closure for easy application and removal
- Contoured posterior joints reduce interference with posterior walkers and other standing/walking/sitting aids
Single Patient Use Only. This product must be fitted by or under the supervision of a Certified Orthotist-Prosthetist, Certified Orthotist or equivalent medical professional.
