Elements Body - Suit
Elements Body is an orthosis made of lycra fabric, composed of various panels. It is designed to give constant proprioceptive feedback through pressure and resistance. The function of Elements Body is to improve posture and stability. This is achieved by providing increased pressure to the body through a snug custom fit. By increasing the deep sensibility, proprioceptive feedback is increased. The proprioceptive feedback may also improve the patient's fine motor skills and functional performance. Various reinforcements can be selected to optimise flexion, extension, pronation and supination positions.
Recommended Range Of Application:
Elements Body can be used as a treatment to reduce increased tonus in neurologic conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Acquired Brain Injury, Acquired Spinal Cord Injury, Cerebellar Ataxia, Athetosis, Spina Bifida, Stroke or Multiple Sclerosis.

Measurement:
Measurements are taken ensuring they reflect a snug fit. The order is placed and Elements Body is custom fabricated. The lycra vest can be designed with reinforcements and fastenings as optional extras. The design is detemined by the prescribing clinician. Elements Body is available in different colour combinations. Basic materials, reinforcements and stitching can all be chosen at the user's preference.
