Buchanan Orthotics to Showcase Innovation in Neuro-Rehabilitation at ACPIN International Conference 2026

Buchanan Orthotics is pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming ACPIN (Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Neurology) International Conference, taking place from 14th to 15th May 2026, at the London Heathrow Marriott Hotel.

As a leader in specialised orthotic solutions, Buchanan Orthotics will join world-class clinicians and researchers to explore this year’s theme: "Revolutionising Recovery: Advocating for the Future of Neurological Rehabilitation."

 
Launching the Anterior Head Support


The highlight of the event for Buchanan Orthotics will be the official launch of the Anterior Head Support, a specialised collar designed to address the complex positioning needs of patients with significant head control challenges.

Commonly utilised for individuals managing conditions such as Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Cerebral Palsy, or severe Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), the Anterior Head Support provides:

  • Targeted Chin Support: A firm but gentle lifting action to combat chin drop and improve visual field engagement.
  • Lateral Stability: Reinforced sides to maintain midline positioning and prevent side-tilting.
  • Enhanced Comfort: A vinyl-coated foam construction featuring a padded rear strap roll to eliminate pressure points, accompanied by soft, washable cloth covers. 

 

Building on Success

The development of the Anterior Head Support represents a significant step forward in spinal orthotics, building directly upon the established clinical success of the Hensinger Collar. 

By integrating the core principles of the Hensinger—reliable cervical positioning and high-quality foam construction—with an enhanced focus on chin elevation and lateral stability, the new Anterior Head Support provides a more robust solution for patients who require maximum support without compromising on skin integrity or comfort.
