We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with David Bownes of Blatchford to explore the possibilities of the Turtle Brace. Together, we delved into the effectiveness of its AFO (Ankle-Foot Orthosis), Wrist, and Elbow variations.

The Turtle Brace shines in its application for children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Its unique design allows for use in serial casting scenarios, particularly following Botox injections. This provides adjustable support throughout the treatment process, adapting to muscle tone changes. Additionally, the brace can be utilised as a night split to manage contractures.

The Turtle Brace's functionality extends beyond CP. It’s a valuable tool for post-stroke patients, offering targeted support for improved movement patterns. The innovative material also makes it water-friendly, allowing wearers to benefit from its support even in pool therapy or showering.

At Buchanan Orthotics, we understand the importance of customised solutions. Our team of qualified professionals will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if the Turtle Brace is the right fit for your specific needs. We will then provide a personalised fitting, ensuring optimal comfort and effectiveness.
