What makes SWASH unique compared to other hip orthoses is that it offers controlled variable abduction. Although it looks like a simple device, it is engineered with a complex series of angles to maintain good hip alignment as the uprights follow the pathways of motion of the femurs. While standing or walking, SWASH provides just enough abduction to prevent scissoring and medial femoral rotation. As the hips are flexed to assume the sitting position, it automatically further abducts the hips to create a tripod base for enhanced sitting stability and more upright posture. The most visible benefits of the SWASH are readily apparent by improvements in sitting and standing posture and stability, and for the ambulatory user, improvement in gait. However, perhaps the most important benefit the SWASH offers is the improvement in hip alignment.
