Description

Osteoarthritis of the hip joint

Osteoarthritis of the hip joint, called coxarthritis, nowadays is most often condition diagnosed by physicians. It’s mainly related to the degeneration of joint cartilage, joint capsule as well as the other tissues that form the hip joint. On the femur head and the acetabulum surface, there are bone spurs, called osteophytes. They are the reason of limiting the hip joint movement and moreover, they cause pain.

Hip joint is a ball joint where the head femur is inside the acetabulum. Thanks to such construction, a leg may move freely in different directions. The reasons of osteoarthritis of the hip may be rooted in its inappropriate construction (hip dysplasia), growth disturbances or injuries. Another UNIPRENcause of hip joint degeneration may be disorders of the metabolism, osteoporosis, overweight or even the hard physical work.

Osteoporosis

The first symptoms of hip joint degeneration are slight and almost invisible – that is why they are very often marginalized. The first symptoms include: groin pain that appears when getting up or sitting down, usually it involves only the one side of the body. The signal of the disease is also the feeling of lower limb weakness or the knee pain after long walks. As the disease develops, the hip joint movement is limited significantly and the pain increases. In the advanced stage, a patient has serious problem with walking (crutches are often needed).

The sooner a therapy starts, the longer the hip joint movement may be kept. First of all, a patient has to take care of the appropriate body weight. Overweight patients has to lose their weight, keep healthy diet and active lifestyle (depending on what kind of physical activity is possible – it has to be consulted with a doctor or a physiotherapist. The vital point is also the prevention of osteoporosis. Hip joint degeneration is treated by means of anti-inflammatory medications, painkillers or physiotherapy. When the hip joint is strongly degenerated, the hip replacement surgery (endoprosthesis) is necessary.

Technology

MATERIALS

PowerFit™

PowerFit™ is a thin, 3-layered lamination, consisted of 2 external spandex layers and internal core. The core aim is to improve compression and absorb shocks in joints and muscles during physical activity. External spandex layers are very resistant to damages and dirt. Braces, made of this fabric, support the body perfectly. Because of their high quality, they can be used even in extreme conditions. PowerFit™ is easy to maintain and can be hand wash, so you can use our braces in fitness exercises and daily trainings. Waterproof material.

STIFFENINGS

Plastic stays

They come in various widths and thicknesses, are made of various types of plastics, such as polyamide, ABS or acrylic, and these features determine their stiffness. Thanks to their design, they are resistant to water, moisture and sweat. Products equipped with them can be washed without having to remove them from the orthosis. Our plastic stays work only in one direction, perfectly stabilize the laterally protected part of the body, adjusting to it at the same time and have a memory function, thanks to which they always return to their original shape. This function causes the stays in the orthosis to stabilize the swollen limb immediately after the injury and after the swelling has come off. The plastic stays cannot bend and that is why, they cannot correct the body posture or the secured joint.

PADDINGS

Gel wraps

Gel compresses are a special gel closed in tight and durable foil bags of various shapes. With such a compress, you can always cool or warm up selected parts of the body when needed. Compresses are extremely practical, they work well in special orthopedic orthoses, because then you can perform heat or cold therapy while moving, which makes it more effective. The fact that one compress can be used both hot and cold is an undoubted advantage of this modern solution. The gel that the bags are filled with retains its original temperature for a long time, which is why it is much more effective than ice or a hot water bottle filled with hot water. The composition of the gel filling the compresses is safe for health, i.e. non-toxic. Usually, propylene glycol and distilled water are used. It is true that the skin does not come into contact with the inside of the compress, but in case the bag breaks, it is better to have a product that is as indifferent to health as possible.
