Orthosis
Orthosis / Prosthosis
Orthosis Is needed for adults or children with neuromuscular and musculoskeletal impairments that contribute to functional limitation and disability.
We First Evaluate
- functional and cosmetic need of patient
- Sensory system
- Muscle Strength
- Muscle tightness
- Muscle tone
- Joint range of motion
- Joint deformity and then design the orthosis by selecting appropriate components needed. The orthotist educates the patient and the care providers on appropriate use of the orthosis, care of the orthosis, and how to assess continued appropriateness of the orthosis.
Material used for orthosis are leather, metal, wood, thermoplastic and thermosetting materials, foamed plastics, and viscoelastic polymer as per need of orthosis.
Benefits of Orthosis :
- Stroke / Paralysis
- Multiple & Sclerosis
- Spinal cord injury
- Parkinson’s disease
- Traumatic Brain injury
- Motor Neuron disease
