| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| FO | Metatarsal pad, Cushion heel, heel spurd pad. |
| FO- Longitudinal arch support: | UCBL, Scaphoid pad, Thomas heel |
| FO- Rearfoot posting- | alters the postion of subtalar joint(STJ)or rearfooot, from heelstrike to flat. |
| FO- Rearfoot posting- Varus post ( medial Wedge) | limits or control eversion of calcaneous |
| FO- Rearfoot posting-( lateral wedge) | limits calcaneus and subtalar joint that are excessively inverted. |
| Forefoot posting: | supports the forefoot |
| Forefoot posting: | Supports the forefoot, Medial wedge prescribed for forefoot varus, Lateral wedge prescribed for forefoot valgus |
| Forefoot posting is contraindicated for? | Insensitive foot |
| Types pf Forefoot posting: | Heel lifts( or heel plataform), rocker bar, rocker botton. |
| AFOs - Anterior stop:(Dorsiflex stop) | can be used to control from knee hyperextension - Because AFO at 5 deg. of df It results in KNEE FLEXION |
| AFOs- Porterior stop: (plantar flex stop) | Used to control for a unstable knee that buckles. AFO set at 5 deg, of plantar flex it results in KNEE EXTESION |
| Knee extension is provide by what kind of AFO? | AFOs- Porterior stop: (plantar flex stop) |
| Knee flexion is provide by what kind od AFO? | AFOs- Porterior stop: (plantar flex stop) |
| Molded AFO is contraindicated for what kind of population? | Individuals with changing leg volume. |
| Caracteristics of molded AFO- Posterior leaf spring: | Provides no medial lateral stability. |
| Caracteristics of molded AFO- MOdified AFO | Provides more medial and lateral stability( control of calcaneal and forefoot inversion and eversion) |
| Caracteristics of molded AFO- Solid Ankle AFO | control and prevents df, pf , inversion and eversion. |
| Caracteristics of molded AFO- Spiral AFO | (spirals around the calf)- Provide limited control in all planes. |
| SPecialized AFO- Patelar-tendon-bearing | Patelar tendon bearing (reduces weight bearing trough the foot) |
| SPecialized AFO- Tone reducing orthosis | Afo tha applies constant pressure to spatic or hypertonic muscles ( plantar flexors and invertors) |
| Types of KAFO:(4) | Craig - Scott, Oregon orthotic system, Fracture braces, FES |
| Craig - Scott ( KAFO): | used appliance for indivisulas with paraplegia. |
| Oregon orthotic system( KAFO) | components that allow for triplanar control in 3 planes of motion( sagital, frontal and transverse) |
| FES( KAFO) | orthotic used and functional ambulation is acilited by the addition of electrical stimulation to specific muscles. |
| HKAFO | Controls for abduction, adduction and rotation of hip joint. |
| THKAFOS | contains a trunk band added to a HKAFO |
| SPecialized lower limbs devices: | Denis Browne Splint- used for correction of club foot, Frejika pillow- keeps hip abducted, used for hip dysplasia. Toronto hip abduction orthosis- abducts the hip- used in tto of Legg- Calve- Perthes disease. |
| Denis Browne Splint- | Denis Browne Splint- used for correction of club foot or pes equinovarus |
| Frejika pillow | keeps hip abducted, used for hip dysplasia |
| Toronto hip abduction orthosis- | abducts the hip; used in treatment of Legg Calve Perthes Disease |
| LSO | control or limit lombosacral motions. |
| LSFEL | Lumbosacral Flexion, Extension, Lateral control Orthoses |
| TLSO | limit or control thoracic and lumbosacral motions |
| Jewett( TLSO) | limits flexion, but encourages hyperextension( lordosis); used for compression fractures of the spine. |
| CO (4) | Cervical Orthosis: soft collar, four poster orthosis, Halo Orthosis, Minerva Orthosis. |
| UL Ortheses | Dorsal wrist splint, Airplane splint. |
| What are the principal ORTHOTIC Assesments on Check out procedures? - STATIC ASSESMENTS- | 1- check aligment of lower limb orthosis,2-In midstance foot should be flat on the floor, Othortic hip joint- .8 cm ant and sup to greater trochanter.Medial knee joint- About 2 cm above joint space and adductor tubercle. Ankle joint- at tip of malleolus. |
| What are the principal ORTHOTIC Assesments on Check out procedures? - Dinamic ASSESMENTS- | Fit and function during ADL's, function mobility skills, fit and function during gait. |
