Infant Hip Examination Trainer

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) occurs in approximately 1 or 2 babies in 1,000. The Limbs & Things Infant Hip Exam Trainer has been designed to meet the specific requirements of healthcare professionals training to identify and diagnose DDH. Limbs & Things worked with leading American paediatrician, Dr Joseph O. Lopreiato, a specialist in Simulation Education, and Elizabeth Weissbord, MA, CMI, to develop this infant hip simulation model.

• The infant hip trainer is quick and easy to set up
• Our durable model allows for repeated training using the Ortolani Test and Barlow Manoeuvre
• The Infant Hip Examination Trainer comes with two hip modules:
• Normal hip module – this allows trainees to understand the haptics of how a normal hip would react during an examination
• Abnormal hip module - one hip that is dislocated and can be manoeuvred into the correct position and the other hip is lax and can be dislocated, both using the Ortolani Test and Barlow Manoeuvre
• Articulated knee and ankle joints mean the baby’s feet can be placed flat on a bed replicating the Galeazzi sign
• A realistic ‘clunk’ can be felt when resetting the dislocated hip
• This model is anatomically accurate for a 1 month old female infant

• Performing the Ortolani test
• Performing the Barlow manoeuvre
