What is this?

Charcot Restraint Orthotic Walker (CROW)

What is this?

Worn at night to treat scoliosis through use of long lever arms

What is this used for/what does it restrict?

control subtalar joint by aligning to neutral and assists in controlling medial/lateral ankle instability (most often used to correct pronation)

What are SMOs used for?

low tone kids, excessive pronation, flexible pes planus, down syndrome, developmental delay, and benign hypotonia

What diagnoses commonly use SMOs?

Provides max stability and used in absence of ROM when there is a lack of medial/lateral control at the ankle

What are solid AFOs used for?

spastic CP

What diagnoses commonly use solid AFOs?

aids in DF during swing phase for toe clearance and controls PF at heel strike

What are PLS AFOs used for?

CVA, CMT, MS, peroneal palsy, and LE weakness

What diagnoses commonly use PLS AFOs?

provides moderate stability and is used in absence of full AROM, especially when there is a lack of medial/lateral control or ankle stability

What are semi-solid AFOs used for?

Spastic CP

What diagnoses commonly use semi-solid AFOs?

used when there is available DF/PF but limited eversion/inversion and encourages neutral foot

What are hinged/free motion articulated AFOs used for?

for patients whose crouched position is due to weakness and lack of voluntary PF

What is a ground reaction force AFO used for?

provides long-term stretch and positioning to decrease risk of contractures

What is a non-weight bearing AFO used for?

CP, MS, SB, CVA, and TBI

What diagnoses commonly use non-weight bearing AFOs?

provides immobilization of foot/ankle for healing and to maintain safe and appropriate posture

What is a charcot restraint orthotic walker (CROW) used for?

Charcot ankle with diabetic plantar neuropathy

What diagnoses commonly use CROWs?

improves LE stability directly at the knee and indirectly at above/below the knee

What is a KAFO used for?

>/= 20 degrees of genuvarum/valgum and grade 3 or below quad MMT

What must patients have to use KAFO?

provides foot/ankle/knee/hip stability and discourages excessive hip rotation during gait

What are HKAFOs used for?

spina bifida, MS, muscular dystrophy, paraplegics, etc

What diagnoses commonly use HKAFOs?

creates reciprocal movements of the legs and regulates gait

What are RGOs used for?

spina bifida, SCIs, children with unilateral hip dislocations, lower limb paralysis, and LLD

What diagnoses commonly use RGOs?

correct toe in or toe out

What is this?

Twister cable/derotation straps

What is this?

Hip abduction orthosis

What is this?

Spasticity, severe toe walking, tight heel chords, and tight peroneals

What are contraindications for SMOs?

pt would benefit from more motion

What are contraindications for solid AFOs?

significant ML or AP ankle instability during swing or stance

What are contraindications for a PLSO?

Pt would benefit from more motion

What are contraindications for semi-solid AFOs?

Severe spasticity, severe ML instability or deformity of the ankle/foot

What are contraindications for hinged/free motion articulated AFOs?

Knee hyperextension

What are contraindications for GFOs?

rigid contractures

What are contraindications for non-weight bearing AFOs (night splints)?

Pt would benefit from more movement

What are contraindications for KAFOs?

What is this?

static splint that prevents motion, provides protection/support, and corrects/prevents deformity

What is a thumb spica used for?

general finger splint

What is this?

static splint that prevents abduction/adduction/opposition, provides protection/support, and corrects/prevents deformity

What is a general finger splint used for?

ring splint

What is this?

3 point pressure system that prevents flexion/extension, provides protection/support, and corrects or prevents deformity

What is a ring splint used for?
