Do you know about the or SDO? These custom garments provide sensory and proprioceptive feedback as well as musculoskeletal support. They can also promote postural control and help manage conditions involving joint instability or sensory deficits.

Each is designed with different panels (as you can see on these three unique designs) that can promote or resist certain movements. They can be full suits (like these ones here), separate top and bottom pieces or address a single upper or lower limb.

Your practitioner will work with you to determine the best design for not only proper function, but also ease of use. Plus, they also come in some great colors and designs!

We wanted to make everyone aware of this change and if you have any questions when trying to find the office please call us at 703-807-5899!

Industry update! Several companies have introduced options for a new style of quick fitting sockets. These new sockets, such as the Ottobock Varos shown here, allow for easy user adjustability.

These are a great option for patients with above knee volume changes or inpatient rehab settings.
