Dynamic Textile Orthoses in New Mexico
PrimeCare Orthotics & Prosthetics in Las Cruces offers cutting-edge custom Lycra-based suits and elastomeric fabric garments to enhance movement, stability, and function for patients with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions across New Mexico.

What Are Lycra Orthoses?
Lycra orthoses are specialized therapeutic garments that combine lycra fabric’s elasticity with strategically placed reinforcement panels. These custom-made devices work by providing gentle compression and sensory feedback to the body, enhancing proprioception and muscle awareness.

The lycra material offers consistent pressure against the skin, stimulating sensory receptors that help improve body positioning and movement control, while supporting muscle function and joint stability.

Conditions That Dynamic Textile Orthoses Treat
These innovative orthotic solutions are valuable tools in both pediatric and adult care. Conditions commonly treated include:
Cerebral Palsy
Dynamic textile orthoses provide essential support for children and adults with cerebral palsy by addressing muscle tone abnormalities and improving postural control. These custom garments help manage spasticity while promoting better movement patterns and functional independence. The gentle compression helps enhance proprioceptive awareness, allowing patients to develop improved motor skills and coordination for daily activities.Stroke Recovery
Post-stroke patients benefit significantly from lycra-based orthoses as they work to regain muscle strength and motor control. These devices support weakened limbs while encouraging active movement and preventing muscle contractures. The sensory feedback provided by the lycra material helps retrain the nervous system, promoting neuroplasticity and facilitating the recovery of lost motor functions.Multiple Sclerosis
For those with multiple sclerosis, dynamic orthoses help manage fluctuating muscle tone and provide stability during periods of weakness. The supportive nature of these garments helps with balance and coordination while reducing fatigue. Custom tailoring ensures the device accommodates changing symptoms and provides consistent support if the disease progresses.Scoliosis Management
Orthotic suits offer a non-invasive approach to managing spinal curvature, especially effective when implemented early in the condition's development. These specialized orthoses apply gentle corrective forces to the spine while allowing for natural movement and growth. Clinical studies demonstrate their effectiveness in slowing progression and potentially delaying the need for surgery.Muscular Dystrophy
Patients with muscular dystrophy benefit from the supportive properties of lycra orthoses, which help compensate for progressive muscle weakness. These devices offer external support to maintain function and independence while accommodating the evolving needs of the condition. The lightweight material reduces additional burden while maximizing therapeutic benefit.Developmental Coordination Disorders
Children with developmental coordination disorders experience improved motor planning and execution through dynamic textile orthoses. The sensory input that these garments provide enhanced body awareness and helps develop more coordinated movement patterns essential for academic and social success.

FAQ
When are lycra orthoses recommended?
We prescribe dynamic textile orthoses for various neuromuscular presentations:
— High muscle tone conditions benefit from the gentle elongation and positioning effects.
— Low tone situations utilize the supportive compression to enhance stability.
— Patients with sensory processing difficulties experience improved body awareness through consistent tactile input.
These orthoses are especially ideal for individuals requiring movement facilitation without rigid restriction.How long does it take to see results from wearing a lycra orthosis?
Most patients see benefits within the first few weeks of consistent wear, with optimal improvements typically occurring after 2–3 months of regular use. During this time, the nervous system adapts to the enhanced sensory feedback and support.
Can lycra orthoses be worn during sleep?
Sleep wear depends on individual needs and device type. Some orthoses are specifically designed for nighttime use to maintain positioning, while others are intended for daytime activities only. Your orthotist will provide specific wearing instructions based on your therapeutic goals.
How do I care for my lycra orthosis?
Proper care involves gentle handwashing in cool water with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. Air drying is essential to maintain the lycra's elasticity and reinforcement panel integrity. Rest assured that we provide detailed care instructions with each device.
What happens if my lycra orthosis doesn't fit properly?
A perfect fit is crucial for therapeutic effectiveness. If you experience discomfort or notice the device isn't functioning as expected, contact us right away. Our adjustments and modifications can ensure optimal fit and function throughout your treatment.
