Indications: This design is for recumbent use or with ambulatory modifications can be used while walking. The 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 while providing positive adjustable ROM stops to protect the knee and musculature. This knee design minimizes pressure
to ease related co-morbidities from poor skin integrity, neuropathies
or vascular disease.
Fabrication: These
orthoses are custom fabricated for a specific patient. A patient
model of the knee is made from plaster or fiberglass.
The model is modified for relief of bony prominences. Plastic and metal are then formed to the
patient model using exacting orthometry measurements to complete
the brace.
