A Shell of Support: Buchanan Clinic Welcomes the Innovative Turtle Brace
Buchanan Clinic is thrilled to announce a new addition to our range of treatment options – the Turtle Brace! Invented by the ingenious Serge-Eric, this revolutionary brace system offers a unique approach to supporting mobility and contracture management in children and adults.
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.

Turtle Power for CP Management:
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 for managing contractures.

Beyond CP: Versatility for Diverse Needs
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.
