Elements Body – Trousers

Elements Body Trousers are a textile orthosis that provides continuous proprioceptive feedback over the pelvis and lower extremities. They may be suitable when support is required for posture, stability, and movement control in the hips and legs to facilitate function during standing and walking activities.

The Elements Body orthosis is made of Lycra elastic fabric and constructed from multiple panels in a design that provides pressure and resistance to enhance posture and stability. By increasing deep sensory input, also referred to as proprioception, fine motor skills as well as functional performance may also be improved.

The trousers are ordered and manufactured according to individual measurements and is available with short or long legs. Reinforcements and zippers can be added as needed for functional and usability needs. The design and configuration are determined by the prescribing clinician.

At the beginning of treatment, Elements Body should be worn for shorter periods of time, and gradually increased until the goal of 6 hours per day is reached. The orthosis should not be used for more than 8–10 hours per day. Elements Body should not be worn through the night when patient is sleeping.
