MODULAR PEDIATRIC BRACING

Bounders store and return energy, mimicking normal muscle function, to produce eccentric and concentric contractions, and, if needed, a ground reaction force.

Pediatric Dynamic Elastomers

Bounders are a patent pending elastomer technology that store and return energy—mimicking normal muscle function—to produce both eccentric and concentric contractions and, if needed, a ground reaction force.

Bounders are an easy-to-use expandable dynamic bracing system to treat pediatric and young adult patients and feature standardized sizes and three levels of performance,

HOW BOUNDERS WORK:

In midstance, the tibia progress forward over the foot as the ankle begins to move into dorsi-flexion. At this point, Bounders elongate similar to the posterior compartment muscles, and the eccentric action pulling on the elastomer assists the tibial progression and provides a smooth transition from the loading response. The elongation of the Bounders elastic structure stores potential energy which is used later and released in the gait cycle for active

Bounders Knowledge Base

Bounders are perfect for:

Crouch gait
Weak or absent forefoot push off
Insufficient anterior control of tibia
Low tone with poor proprioception
Spastic Diplegia
Spasticity
Developmental delays

Bounders deliver results:

Limits tibial progression to produce a ground reaction
Produces active plantar-flexion
Eccentric control to assist with smooth progression of the tibia
Controlled kinesthetic awareness
Works with patient's muscles to provide support for normal gait
Reduces the effects of Dystonia through increased proprioception
Tone reducing
