Dynamic Bracing
At Gait Dynamics, Dynamic Bracing refers to leg bracing built on a set of ideas about
body alignment - upright balance - walking momentum - resisted yielding - and power recoil
Is there just one kind of Dynamic Bracing?
The most complete expression is Dynamic Bracing Solutions (DBS) by Marmaduke Loke in San Diego, CA
The ideas behind his designs are mechanical insights that occur in part elsewhere. A proof that they are true and good is the way competitors have proliferated and how those designs have moved closer to DBS over time. For some, the entire idea set is best. Other times, the least brace that will do enough good to matter is best.
At Gait Dynamics we will help you evaluate your needs and options and help you determine what is best for your particular situation.
So who is Dynamic Bracing really good for?
It depends on the mechanical profile of the person, rather than their medical diagnosis.
If a person would like to walk for pleasure and exercise, but they cannot because of balance, weakness, joint instability, certain kinds of pain, or certain kinds of body mail-alignment, then Dynamic Bracing might be the answer.
How do I find out if it’s for me?
Schedule a brief, free consultation. We’ll go over your particular situation. If it seems like a match, then we’ll set up a more complete evaluation.
Is Dynamic Bracing covered by insurance?
It depends. The full Dynamic Bracing Solutions devices are not covered by Medicare. Private insurance will require an authorization process and may be denied or covered only in part.
Other designs are generally covered. Authorization processing varies.
