Hosiery & LymphologyDynamic Compression TherapyRole of Dynamic Compression in the Management of ToneThe application of dynamic compression through the wearing of the SensoryDynamic Orthosis can result in improved motor output, improved reciprocalmuscle activity, and can be used to maintain soft tissue length and alignment.SDO garments are designed and produced to provide constant and consistentcompression for sensory and proprioceptive feedback. They also providemusculoskeletal alignment and resistance whilst allowing movement thus givingthe propensity for motor learning and neural integration. This will then optimiseand enhance functional performance by improving motor control and fluency ofmovement.SDO Sensory Dynamic OrthosisDynamic compression through Lycra for optimising function….The Sensory Dynamic Orthosis (SDO) is a made to measure Lycra Garment (Class1) medical device, designed and produced to the finest detail. It providesdynamic compression to increase sensory and proprioceptive feedback as well asprovide musculoskeletal support. This lycra garment can assist and lead to motorlearning and neural integration. Through the use of an SDO providing constant,consistent compression, stretch, support and sensory information the patient isgiven the effect of therapeutic handling for the time that the garment is worn.Clinical observations and the evidence available shows that wearing the SDOleads to an improvement in positioning, posture and function because it providesmusculo-skeletal alignment, postural stability and sensory feedback.This is thought to be due to the stimulation of the somatosensory and musculoskeletalsystems which give changes in tone and postural alignment. This will thenlead to improved proximal stability and improved biomechanical advantage formuscle activation and enhancement of learning strategiews.Please contact Customer Services for full details of this product range.12345678SDO Products AvailableSDO Sock,The SDO sock is a completely bespoke sock where the clinician makes thedecision for the combination of panels used to achieve the desired result.The sock is a full contact lycra sock that can be used to increaseproprioceptive and sensory feedback whilst providing musculo-skeletalsupport and alignment. It can also be used to assist dorsi-flexion/resistplantar flexion.The SDO ShortsThe design of shorts is determined by the clinician in terms of open orclosed crotch, type and position of fastenings and the panels added toassist with musculoskeletal management of the hips and lower limb as wellas providing sensory and proprioceptive feedback.The SDO GauntletThe SDO gauntlet is a full contact lycra gauntlet that can be used toresist/assist wrist extension whilst stabilising the thumb in functionalextension and abduction. This SDO garment can also include the digits(SDO glove) where MCP extension is required. The choice of panelsused and positioning of the fastening is determined by the cliniciandepending on the clinical reasoning for this provision.Please contact Customer Services for full details of thisproduct range.9101112131415Fax: 0113 2725689 | Web: www.rslsteeper.com 205
