Description:
The Reciprocating Gait Orthosis (RGO) is a walking aid designed for paraplegic patients, aiming to help them achieve standing and walking functions. The RGO provides an effective walking solution for paraplegic patients through its unique design and functionality. It can help patients achieve a certain degree of independent walking in community environments. It is suitable for patients with complete spinal cord injuries below T4 or incomplete injuries at higher levels. For children with spina bifida, the RGO can help them achieve therapeutic independent walking. It is also applicable to patients with lower limb paralysis caused by other reasons.The RGO achieves alternating movement of the legs through a special mechanical device. Its hip joint part uses a double-cable mechanism. When one hip joint extends, the other hip joint is pulled into a flexed position, creating a natural walking rhythm. This design utilizes the body's center of gravity shift and swing, allowing patients to complete walking with less energy expenditure.
Advantages:
The RGO can help patients achieve a certain degree of independent walking in community settings, reducing their reliance on others. This, in turn, boosts their self-confidence and quality of life. The RGO can be customized to fit the specific physical conditions and rehabilitation needs of the patient, ensuring optimal fit and functionality.Easy-to -use modular system ;Seprate components allow the orthosis ;Torsion-proof aluminum-alloyed pelvic tube allows for modular connection of joints.
