Available in a full range of pediatric and adult sizes, the Lower Extremity System is a highly flexible modality for addressing leg rotation, ab/adduction, intoeing and out-toeing, and genu varum/valgum. TheraTogs are also great for hypotonia, diplegia due to CP, hemiplegia due to CP, stroke, TBI, genetic syndromes, athetosis and ataxia. TheraTogs are designed to support functional alignment, provide posture stability and improve gait and balance. Commonly known as wearable therapy devices, the benefits of having thousands of repetitions in the garment to align correctly are readily apparent. These soft goods are not an off-the-shelf tool to be used without professional direction, however they are easy to wear and care for once properly fitted and instructed on how to best utilize them. Clinicians and clients who are familiar with blue TheraTogs may find that GoldTone's superior strength requires less strapping to achieve desired benefits. GoldTone is not available anywhere else in the neuromotor or orthotic markets and cannot be used on other products. It was formulated and created under our direction, especially for TheraTogs systems, using a patented fabric finishing process.
Theratogs Systems purchased through Rehabmart are intended for U.S. residents. Purchasing this item for use outside the U.S. will void all warranties.

WHAT ARE THERATOGS? HOW DO THEY WORK? TheraTogs are specialized undergarments and straps customized for your patient to create a live-in system that provides either neuromotor or postural training, or prolonged proprioceptive input.
For Patients with biochemical or neuromotor issues, TheraTogs work by allowing the clinician to set the patient’s body in proper functional alignment, and letting them re-train their body through the ‘practice’ of daily activities. By applying prolonged, gentle forces during activity, TheraTogs can actually change the muscle and connective tissue – and for infants and young children, bone and joint development as well – in favor of better function and better alignment.
|
For patients with sensory and sensorimotor issues, TheraTogs work by applying consistent, gentle compression and proprioceptive input across the entire trunk, and by offering stability and support in a dynamic system that moves with the patient. |
Using TheraTogs as ‘wearable therapy’, your patient can gain the experience and the benefits of an all-day clinical therapy session. This is what we mean when we tell clinicians they can “send their hands home” with TheraTogs.
Rather than receive only 1 to 3 hours of therapy per week, the typical TheraTogs client receives up to 16 hours of wearable therapy every day.
