Reciprocating Gait Orthoses (Rgos): Enhancing Mobility For Individuals With Gait Impairments
A Reciprocating Gait Orthosis (RGO) is a device used to improve gait in individuals with mobility impairments. RGOs consist of materials that provide support and assist movement, designed to align with the user’s biomechanics and activity needs. Through gait analysis, RGOs are tailored to specific patient factors, enhancing muscle function, balance, and posture. RGOs are indicated for musculoskeletal disorders, postural deformities, and neurological conditions, forming an essential part of orthotic management and rehabilitation.
