SWASH STEADY PELVIC BAND

Swash is a unique dynamic hip brace that allows controlled variable abduction and dynamic movement in all three planes of motion. The goal of SWASH^® is to prevent excessive hip adduction when sitting, standing, and walking as usual in cerebral palsy. However, perhaps the most important benefit the SWASH^® offers is guidance for hip alignment. A complete SWASH orthosis requires 3 parts: a Pelvic Section, Thigh Cuffs, & Uprights. Please order each item separately. (this page is for the pelvic band only)

SWASH® STEADY Pelvic Section is available in sizes 1-4. SWASH® STEADY size 1 is designed for infants or very small children. The STEADY size 1 uprights are 6mm diameter. The smaller diameter uprights on size 1 allow more “spring”, permitting less restriction of movement. This is often desirable for the developing infant. To accommodate these smaller diameter uprights the retaining rings in the pelvic section and cuffs are also 6mm diameter. The STEADY size 1 pelvic section, cuffs, and uprights are not interchangeable with other sizes. Sizes 2-6 uprights are 8mm diameter and retaining rings in the pelvic section (sizes 2-4) and cuffs (sizes 2-6) are also 8mm diameter so they are interchangeable.

Another version of the SWASH is available, please see the SWASH GO page for more trunk support.
