TAOS - Enabling activity for the CP Patient
Email
About us
Orthotist page
The Therapeutic Ambulatory Orthotic System (TAOS)
is designed to function as an essential aid to your child
with neuromotor impairments including CP to help
encourage upright hands free standing or ambulation.
The TAOS is the culmination of over 3 years of design
and clinical work by a team of therapists, orthotists and
engineers aimed at providing children with the best
possible tool to help them out of their seated or prone
world and into an upright one.
The patented TAOS has two parts -- an Orthotic and a Mobility Base. These two components work together to provide a unique therapy tool as
well as expand your child’s mobility. The patented system provides body support and acts as an extra set of hands that encourages proper gait.
Many features of the Taos were based on parents’ needs. At Sky Medical we have simplified the system as much as possible to make it a tool you
feel comfortable using at home. The Taos has a sit-to-stand and “easy dock” system for joining the orthotic to the Mobility Base. This makes the
system easier to get into, especially with larger children. The Mobility Base comes apart into three sections with simple quick-release levers. This
enables you to break it down within seconds to fit into even the smallest compact car trunk. Reassembly takes seconds more and off you go! We
think you and your child will find a greater sense of independence as you use the Taos in your home, in the neighborhood, and at therapy.
