Our goal at Sky Medical is to help children with Cerebral Palsy and other
neuromotor impairments gain access to an upright hands free environment that will
increase their activity levels and participation in Life!
The TAOS (Therapeutic Ambulatory Orthotic System) is a combination of an Orthosis and a mobility base. These two components work together to provide your special needs child the ability to flourish in an upright hands free environment. The orthosis ensures your child's legs and torso are kept in proper alignment so his muscles can be trained to work in the manner in which they were intended. The mobility base supports your child in a standing position, enabling him to safely explore his environment to the best of his abilities. Many special needs children are able to take steps independently for the first time when utilizing the assistance provided by the TAOS. Since we first started fitting TAOS units in 2006, we have been amazed at the benefit it provides to a very wide range of children and abilities. The upright activity and excercise children get while in the TAOS is a tremendous benefit to their health and well being.
Unlike a traditional pediatric walker, stander or gait trainer, the TAOS ensures that your child is in proper alignment while bearing weight. This is important, as prolonged weight bearing in poor alignment can lead to damage to joints because of unnatural loading.
We hope the TAOS can serve as a tool to give your child a new sense of freedom and accomplishment at home, therapy, school or any place you wish to take it.
