The effect of the design of the orthosis on the axial load transmission of two flexion abduction orthoses used in treating congenital hip dysplasia

Background: With an incidence of 2–4% in all newborns, developmental dysplasia of the hip, DDH, represents the most frequent congenital disorder of the skeletal system in Germany. The therapy options are deduced with the help of a sonography. The conservative therapy approach includes the applicatio...
