The unique attachment of the Synergistic Suspension Strap is beneficial for brace suspension and hyper extension control. The strap attaches to the posterior shell and wraps around the inside of the uprights.
Townsend polio-style braces are designed for mobility-challenged patients who require control for hyperextension and/or genu recurvatum. You can consider the patient’s physical needs and life-style in selecting a traditional full shell or Premier Series brace design. Both braces feature our patented hinge motion and suspension technology.
