Indications: This design is for recumbent use. The tone reducing footplate,
static controls and submaximal assist allow for conservative
management of spasticity to improve muscle length and balance
and to correct postural deformity. It enables a true stretch
and control across the knee-ankle complex by limiting substitution
of knee ankle motion. This knee-ankle design minimizes pressure
to ease related co-morbidities from poor skin integrity, neuropathies
or vascular disease. The addition of our UltraQuick Release™allows you to separate the ankle and the knee braces providing you and your patients with more therapy options. Releasing and reattaching the sections takes only a few seconds. Double click to see video.
Fabrication: These
orthoses are custom fabricated for a specific patient. A patient
model of the knee-ankle complex is made from plaster or fiberglass.
The model is modified for relief of bony prominences, application
of varus, valgus and tone reduction modifications to the rear,
mid and forefoot. Plastic and metal are then formed to the
patient model using exacting orthometry measurements to complete
the brace.
