Indications: This
design is for use at rest and during activities of daily living
to posture and strengthen the soft tissue of the elbow musculoskeletal
complex. The submaximal assist lengthens and strengthens the
flexors/extensors to conservatively manage
orthopedic dysfunction secondary to trauma. This
elbow design minimizes pressure to reduce co-morbidities from
poor skin integrity, neuropathies or vascular disease.
Fabrication: This orthosis is custom made for a specific patient. A patient
model of the elbow is made from a plaster or fiberglass mold.
The model is modified for relief of bony prominences and proper
application of force. Plastic and metal are then formed to
the patient using exacting orthometry measurements to complete
the brace.
