Abstract:

The traditional theory on subtalar joint neutral position and intrinsic foot deformities for the evaluation and treatment of foot and ankle disorders has been the basis for foot orthotics for many years. Although clinical evaluations have suggested a relationship between subtalar pronation and a variety of lower limb problems, such as shin splints and anterior knee pain, recent research has raised serious concerns about the reliability and validity of the assessment and intervention methods. Results of recent studies in foot biomechanics suggest that the orthosis design to control foot alignme

Abstract:

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common foot injuries athletes sustain. The painful heel is the result of overloading and inflammation of the plantar fascia at its insertion into the medial process of the tuberosity of the calcaneus. Many different treatment approaches have been used to address this overuse problem. Treatment for plantar fasciitis has included decreased weight bearing, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), orthotics, arch taping, weight loss, steroid injections, ultrasound, ice, physical therapy, and surgical release. Clinically the use of night splints has been f

Abstract:

The biomechanics of the human body has a direct impact on the quality of gait cycle. Patients with Cerebral Palsy (CP) often present incorrect gait patterns associated with structural deformities which directly influence the locomotor functions. The key to therapeutic success in those patients is the use of lower limb orthotics of the AFO type. This type of orthopedic devices should correct the skeletal deformities, optimize function and ensure high quality of daily use. Alignment of the lower limb supported by orthotics in all planes is crucial for changing the abnormal position of the ground

Abstract:

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a novel technique that despite having been around for more than 35 years, has been underutilized. Its great advantage lies in the basic fact that it is incredibly customizable. Since its use was recognized in various fields of medicine like orthopaedics, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology etc, it has proved to be one of the most promising developments in most of them. Customizable orthotics, prosthetics and patient specific implants and tracheal splints are few of its advantages. And in the future too, the combination of tissue engineering with AM is believed to

Traditionally, this was performed using physician applied custom splint or cast and achieved a high degree of immobilization. Braces and orthotics are becoming less expensive and have several advantages, such as light weight and convenience in removal. However, this may come at the expense of ability to restrict movement.

These systems include the use of rote memory or logical deduction in grouping of splints. This paper describes the advantages and disadvantages of each classification s

Abstract Introduction The prescription of splints (orthoses) to help protect vulnerable structures and maintain range of motion after skin grafting is an integral and important part of burn recovery. The degree to which a patient adheres to wearing a prescribed orthosis is believed to play a major role in outcome. However, orthoses may be uncomfortable or undesirable to wear, affecting a patient’s adherence. At our burn center, orthosis application and wear is heavily dependent on staff when patients are in the ICU. As patients move to the acute ward, the responsibility for orthotic use is sha

Considering this we have designed and developed a new Dynamic Multiaxial Adjustable Shoulder Splint.

Abstract:

Category: Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, resulting in an estimated 1 million visits to medical professionals annually. Conservative treatments for plantar fasciitis include rest, orthotics, night splint, stretching and non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Such treatments are successful in nearly 90% of patients, however, more invasive treatments are required for patients whose heel pain symptoms persist greater than six months. Fetal tissues, including the umbilical cord (UC) and amniotic membrane (AM) have been increasingly used to m

Abstract:

Background: Plantar fasciitis can be defined as inflammation at the insertion of plantar fascia and is thought most commonly due to overuse injury. It usually presents as sharp shooting heel pain which is worse in the morning. The location of pain is usually plantar surface of the foot and pain may radiate proximally in long standing and severe cases. In mild cases of plantar fasciitis non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and activity modification may be sufficient. Severe cases may require interventions such as night splints and orthotic devices which works by reducing loading of plantar fas

Abstract:

Clubfoot is a common pediatric orthopaedic deformity. Despite the popularity of Ponseti’s method and night splints such as the Denis–Browne method, there is still an 11–47% rate of deformity relapse reported in the literature. The technique to make traditional orthotics is dependent on a nonweight-bearing casting or foot imprint. These splints outdate clinical treatment trends and only apply to patients who are of nonwalking age. This study shows that a new procedure utilizing computer aided design and the finite element method can be employed to develop a customized weight-bearing dynamic ort

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION Real-life outdoor walking of amputees is challenged by uneven ground. Uneven ground requires either a component adaptation in the sagittal plane or in frontal plane or both. The lack of adaptability of prosthetic components requires compensational movement strategies by the user. Common energy storing and returning (ESR) feet have some basic flexibility through the carbon structure allowing for some limited adaptation in both planes. For the frontal plane the split toe feature adds some functionality. However, even with split toe the ROM is clearly limited and needs high for

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Immobilisation tools for non-operative management of distal radius fractures (DRFs) in adults, include plaster casts, orthotic splints, and recently removable soft cast as per the BOAST COVID-19 guidelines. Limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of removable soft casts in adults with DRFs. We assessed patient reported functional outcomes and experiences of adults with DRFs managed non-operatively in a removable soft cast during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method We retrospectively reviewed adults with DRFs, treated with a removable soft cast for 6 weeks between 9th April

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Patients with rheumatoid arthritis frequently consult for pain resulting from involvement of the tendons of the foot. This pain negatively affects foot biomechanics and quality of life. The most widely used treatment option for this condition is ultrasound-guided steroid injection, while other treatments were recommended such as heel pad, splints, and footwear. Objective To evaluate a joint intervention (rheumatology and podiatry) comprising an orthotic-podiatric treatment and infiltrations. We evaluated the response using ultrasound monitoring, a pain scale, functional t

Abstract:

Abstract Background Adequate financing is a crucial function, securing that physical rehabilitation services (i.e., physiotherapy, occupational therapy, prosthetics and orthotics) are available with no financial hardship. Like many other countries, despite the adoption of various policies and strategies in recent decades, Iran enjoys no desirable physical rehabilitation financing (PRF). Accordingly, this qualitative study aimed to explore the PRF-related strategies and issues as well as their impacts on relevant policies in Iran. Methods An analysis of PRF-related policies was conducted in Ira
