Jobskin® Ready To Wear Standard Leg & Arm Gaiters

Please note that gaiters are sold individually for a single limb.

Jobskin® Gaiters are fabric orthoses with metal inserts for strength and are fastened around the limb with hook and loop straps. The gaiters aim to keep the affected limb in controlled and stabilised extension for rehabilitation and/or provide a prolonged stretch to the limb to reduce contractures.

These gaiters are our Standard Gaiters and include a cotton lining:

Features

• To control, stabilise, limit or immobilise the arm or leg at the elbow or knee
• Reducing pain and discomfort by maintaining or increasing range of movement at the joint
• Restricting the motion of a limb in a particular direction
• Speeding up the rehabilitation process after a limb is fractured or broken and the cast removed
• Extension gaiters for keeping the arm or leg in extension for prolonged stretch / immobilisation
• Standard gaiters feature a polyester/cotton mix lining for shorter term use for example post sprain or fracture
• Extensive pattern choice that are regularly updated

Indications

• Functional rehabilitation and weight bearing activities
• Contracture or spasticity management
• Post-injury, dislocations or fractures
• Post-Surgery
• Night time positioning

How to wear Gaiters

1. Undo all the hook and loop fastener straps and place on a stable surface with the lining facing upwards. Ensure the top (widest) part of the gaiter is closest to you.
2. Carefully straighten the limb as much as possible, and place it onto the gaiter ensuring the narrow part of the gaiter is in line with the wrist or ankle.
3. Fold the gaiter around the limb, ensure that the 'tongue' is flattened out beneath the overlapping edge.
4. Fasten the hook and loop fasteners securely but do not over tighten. The gaiter should be a comfortable garment to wear and not restrict circulation.
