Orthotics offers a treatment for patients with hemiplegia I

Hemiplegia patients has low muscle strength, dystonia, movement control disorders, and depth of dysfunction of feeling depth and other issues, due to damage to the motor neurons Such as patient may have drop foot,pointed foot, foot inversion, toe flexion, knee flexion and knee hyperextension and other abnormal gait during walking.

If patitents have drop foot,we would like to introduce an Elastic Anke Foot orthosis ,that is one of lower limb orthoses.




The main purpose of hemiplegia rehabilitation is using orthopedic braces for patients with abnormal movement patterns, spasticity control, prevention and correction for deformity.That is a kind of compensation and orthopedic treatment for the disability. But in recent years influenced by reducing the number of days of hospitalization and improving the effectiveness of rehabilitation,the purpose of using orthopedic brace in hemiplegia rehabilitation changes. 

Orthopedic brace should prevent misuse and disuse syndrome and promote motor function and ADL ability recovery at early rehabilitation Therefore, the concept of "therapeutic" orthopedic brace is presented.

Recently I read an article about  "ORTHOTICS IN REHABILITATION TREATMENT" that is very useful,you  guys should follow it.
