ankle foot orthosis
An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is commonly prescribed for individuals with foot drop, a condition where there's difficulty lifting the front part of the foot due to weakness or paralysis of the muscles that control dorsiflexion. The AFO helps by providing support to the foot and ankle, preventing it from dropping excessively during the swing phase of walking. This aids in preventing trips and falls while also promoting a more natural gait pattern. AFOs come in various designs, from rigid to flexible, and can be custom-made to suit individual needs. Orthovista Rehab specialises in providing personalised AFO solutions for foot drop, ensuring optimal fit and functionality to enhance mobility and reduce the risk of injury for individuals affected by this condition.
SMO
Supramalleolar orthoses (SMOs) are specialized ankle-foot orthoses designed to provide support and stability to the ankle and foot while allowing for natural movement. They typically consist of a molded plastic shell that covers the ankle and extends just above the ankle bones, along with straps or closures for secure fitting.SMOs are commonly prescribed for individuals with conditions such as ankle instability, flat feet, or cerebral palsy, as well as for those recovering from ankle injuries. By restricting excessive motion and providing support to the ankle joint, SMOs help improve balance, prevent falls, and reduce pain.These orthoses can be customized to suit the unique needs and anatomy of each individual, ensuring optimal fit and comfort. Regular use of SMOs can aid in maintaining proper alignment of the ankle and foot, promoting improved mobility and functionality for daily activities.
KAFO
Knee-ankle-foot orthoses (KAFOs) are orthopedic devices that provide support and stability to the knee, ankle, and foot. They typically consist of a rigid frame that extends from above the knee down to the foot, with joints at the knee and ankle for controlled movement.KAFOs are commonly prescribed for individuals with conditions such as cerebral palsy, polio, spinal cord injuries, or arthritis, as well as for those recovering from severe knee or leg injuries. By immobilizing or controlling motion at the knee and ankle joints, KAFOs help improve stability, prevent falls, and promote proper gait patterns.These orthoses can be customized to fit the specific needs and anatomy of each individual, ensuring optimal support and comfort. Regular use of KAFOs can assist in enhancing mobility, facilitating activities of daily living, and improving overall quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments.
dennis brown splint (foot abduction brace)
Foot abduction braces are orthopedic devices designed to maintain the feet in an abducted (outward) position, commonly used to treat conditions like clubfoot or hip dysplasia in infants. These braces help gradually correct abnormal foot or hip positioning by stretching soft tissues and guiding proper alignment. Regular wear of the foot abduction brace supports healthy joint development and improves functional outcomes. Early intervention with these braces can prevent long-term complications and promote normal foot and hip development.
compression stocking
Compression stockings are specialized garments designed to improve circulation and reduce swelling in the legs and feet. By applying gentle pressure to the legs, they help prevent blood from pooling and alleviate symptoms associated with conditions like varicose veins, edema, and deep vein thrombosis.These stockings come in various compression levels and styles, including knee-high, thigh-high, and full-length options. They are commonly used by individuals who spend long periods sitting or standing, pregnant women, athletes, and those with certain medical conditions.Regular use of compression stockings can promote better blood flow, reduce discomfort, and lower the risk of complications such as blood clots. They are typically worn during the day and removed at night, and should be fitted properly to ensure effectiveness and comfort.
hand splint
Hand splints are orthopedic devices used to support and immobilize the hand and wrist, often prescribed for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, or after injury or surgery. By restricting movement, hand splints promote healing, reduce pain, and prevent further injury. They provide stability and support to joints, tendons, and ligaments, aiding in recovery and rehabilitation. Hand splints may also be customized to fit the individual's hand anatomy and specific needs, ensuring optimal comfort and effectiveness. Regular use of hand splints can facilitate daily activities and improve overall hand function and mobility.
postural brace
Postural braces aid in correcting drooping shoulders by providing gentle support and encouraging proper alignment. They help retract the shoulders backward, promoting better posture and reducing strain on the neck and upper back muscles. Regular use of a postural brace can lead to improved shoulder alignment and increased comfort.
