ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic device for precisely controlling the leg and hip movement of a handicapped individual in order to stabilize the position of the hips when walking and thus promote normal back muscle development and body growth. The apparatus of the invention includes a guide member and a slide mechanism operatively associated therewith. The guide member is rigidly connected to one of a pair of leg braces while the slide mechanism is similarly connected to the other leg brace of the pair. A very precise motion is translated from the guide and slide mechanism to the leg braces which directs the legs of the individual through a path of travel that holds the hips and pelvic region in a relatively normal horizontally aligned position.
