  1. Assistive Devices, Orthotics and Prosthetics

  2. Ambulatory Aids Canes Provides wide BOS to improve balance, provided limited stability, use to relieve pain and antalgic gait. Measurements: • 20*-30* of elbow flexion Types • Standard • Quad • Walk Cane (hemi walker)]

  3. Ambulatory Aids Crutches Use to increase BOS, provide MOD degree of stability, and relieve weight bearing on LE. Measurements: • 20*-30* elbow flex, 2-3 finger clearance between axillary pad and axilla, tips 6 inches in front and 2 inches lateral. Types: • Axillary • Forearm Crutches(Lofstrand)

  4. Ambulatory Aids Walkers Provides the greatest amount of lateral and anterior stability, can reduce weight bearing on (B) LE. Measurements: • 20*-30* of elbow flexion Types: • Rigid • Rolling • Reciprocal • Hemi Walker

  5. Orthotics The device is use for • Correct malalignment • Restrict Motion • Assist Motion • Transfer body load • Improve Function • Reduce Pain

  6. Orthotics • Foot Orthosis (FO): • Cushion Heel • UBCL Insert • Thomas Heel • Posting: • Rear foot Posting • Forefoot Posting • Heel Lifts

  7. Orthotics Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) • Ankle Control • Free Motion • Solid Ankle • Limited Motion • BiCAAL • Anterior Stop • Posterior Stop

  8. Orthotics • DF Assistant • Spring (A) • Posterior Leaf Spring (PLS) • T Straps Knee Ankle Foot Orthoses (KAFO) • Craig Scott KAFO • Oregon Orthotic System • Fracture Brace

  9. Orthotics Trunk • Corset • Lumbrosacral Orthoses (LSO) • Knight Spinal • Plastic Lumbosacral jacket Thoracolumbosacral Orthoses (TLSO) • Taylor Bracve • Plastic Thoracolumbosacral Jacket • Jewett

  10. Orthotics Cervical • Soft collar • Four poster orthosis • Halo orthosis • Minerva orthosis Specialized Trunk Orthosis • Milwaukee Orthosis • Boston Orthosis

  11. Prosthetics Is a replacement of a body part with an artificial device. Levels of Amputation • Syme’s • Transtibial (BK) • Knee Disarticulation • Transfemoral (AK) • Hip Disarticulation
