HyMo LYCRA TRAINING LEVEL 1
HyMo is a custom-made textile orthosis focused on providing stabilisation and support of the soft tissue and joints where hypermobility is the main diagnosis (e.g., Ehlers Danlos Syndrome). HyMo garments fit snug to the body and provide a choice of specific reinforcements that will improve posture, increase joint stability and help to manage pain and improve function. This orthosis is intended for patients with hypermobility of joints and soft tissue (e.g., Ehlers Danlos Syndrome). HyMo is only available as a made to measure orthosis. It is designed and produced to stabilise and limit the range of motion at the joints.
HyMo is classified as a Medical Device, Class l, and is produced and certified according to MDD 93/42/EEC and MDR, and certified according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Class II. HyMo material has a high content of Lycra, giving the fabric good stretch and recovery whilst providing excellent dynamic support without limiting movement during strengthening and conditioning (including swimming pool training). The HyMo fabric is also breathable and dries quickly after swimming.
