Do you know about the or SDO? These custom garments provide sensory and proprioceptive feedback as well as musculoskeletal support. They can also promote postural control and help manage conditions involving joint instability or sensory deficits.

Each is designed with different panels (as you can see on these three unique designs) that can promote or resist certain movements. They can be full suits (like these ones here), separate top and bottom pieces or address a single upper or lower limb.

Your practitioner will work with you to determine the best design for not only proper function, but also ease of use. Plus, they also come in some great colors and designs!

We would like to clear up some recent confusion regarding our Arlington office address. We have NOT moved and are still in the same building! In October, Arlington County changed the name of Route 29 from Lee Highway to Langston Boulevard and all the street signs were updated with the new name. GPS and mail systems will still recognize the Lee Highway name, but it will not match the street signs you see. We wanted to make everyone aware of this change and if you have any questions when trying to find the office please call us at 703-807-5899!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Infinite Technologies Orthotics and Prosthetics! In observance of the holiday our offices will be closed on November 25th and 26th and will re-open Monday 11/29 with normal business hours.
