Orthotic devices: Degenerative disorders of the foot and ankle

Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2001
Orthotic devices are an effective method of treating degenerative arthrosis of the foot and ankle. When combined with appropriate medications and activity modifications, operative intervention may be postponed or rendered unnecessary. A thorough comprehension of relevant anatomy, biomechanics, and available devices is crucial to maximize the benefits ...

In vitro wear of various orthotic device materials

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2003
Orthotic devices are advocated to decrease occlusal attrition caused by bruxism but tend to wear with time.This study investigated the wear rate of various materials used to fabricate orthotic devices.Five experimental groups (n=8) were studied: Splint Biocryl autopolymerized (SBA), Splint Biocryl autopolymerized plus additional heat and pressure (SBHP)

A Review on Materials for Orthotic Devices

2019
The recent use of fiber-reinforced composites as bio-material in fabrication of orthoses have accelerated the research in finding the most compatible combinations of bio-polymeric composites. The strength, flexibility, biological compatibility, durability, and fatigue strength can be easily altered considering different combinations of polymers and ...

Orthotic devices for treating patellofemoral pain syndrome

2002
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a frequently reported condition in active adults. A wide variety of conservative treatment strategies have been described. As yet, no optimal strategy has been identified. Application of orthotic devices e.g. knee braces, knee straps, forms of taping of the knee, active training devices, knee sleeves and in-shoe ...

Orthotic devices for the foot.

Orthopaedic review, 1988
Orthotic devices have a multitude of applications. To properly prescribe them, one must have a clear understanding of the biomechanics of the lower limbs. These devices can support, correct, and prevent many pathologic conditions. The author has had experience with 235 patients, utilizing stance-phase, molded, thermoplastic orthotic devices.

Orthotic Devices for Patients With Chronic Physical Handicap

JAMA, 1963
WHAT IS AN ORTHOSIS? Actually, a properly designed orthosis is a biomechanical analogue. An analogue is a part of an organ which has the same function as another part of an organ, but of different origin. It is as similar to the other as possible, both in function and dynamics, and tends to replace the essential function. In order to fit an orthosis to

A prosthetic or orthotic device

A prosthetic or orthotic device comprises an upper leg portion (505), a lower leg portion (510), a foot portion (520), a knee joint (515) and an ankle joint (525). The device further comprises an elastic element (550), which elastically interconnects the upper leg portion and the foot portion.
