ABSTRACT:
A substantially rigid hip abduction system is disclosed which provides support for the hip joint of a human patient while being comfortably worn, even during ambulation. The hip abduction system is a bi-valve structure including pelvic girdle having a first and a second hip engaging members and a front and rear slidable guides which facilitate precise positioning of the pelvic girdle and prevents vertical movement of the system. The hip abduction system of the present invention also includes elongated flanges on the pelvic girdle which substantially eliminates migration thereof on the patient.
