Dynamic Compression: As Easy as SDO®

Many thousands of people have medical conditions that affect their movement, posture and coordination, which in turn can prevent them from enjoying a happy, fulfilled life.

SDO® Original

A made-to-measure Lycra® garment (Class 1) medical device, designed and produced to the finest detail. It provides dynamic compression to increase sensory and proprioceptive feedback as well as provide musculoskeletal support. This Lycra® garment can assist and lead to motor learning and neural integration. Through the use of an SDO® providing constant, consistent compression, stretch, support and sensory information, the patient is given the effect of therapeutic handling for the time that the garment is worn.

Clinical observations and the evidence available shows that wearing the SDO® leads to an improvement in positioning, posture and function because it provides musculoskeletal alignment, postural stability and sensory feedback. This is thought to be due to the stimulation of the somatosensory and musculoskeletal systems which give changes in tone and postural alignment. This will then lead to improved proximal stability and improved biomechanical advantage for muscle activation and enhancement of learning strategies.

SDO® Original, Reinforcement Panels: The SDO® garment can be customised to meet the musculoskeletal needs of the patient by using reinforcement panels. The decision will be made by the prescribing clinician dependent on the functional outcome desired. There is a selection of panels that can be used in isolation or in combination with other panels to achieve the goal in postural control and body alignment.

SDO® Lite

A range of garments is available for clinicians to support assessment of the patient and suitability for dynamic compression. SDO® Lite garments are designed for clinicians to evaluate the impact of increasing sensory and proprioceptive feedback prior to the provision of a made-to-measure garment.
