97
New cards
Orthosis types 5
1. Static: To immobilize, no moveable parts

2. Serial static: Position the tissue to allow a low load prolonged stress, remolded at intervals

3. Dropout: Allows motion in one direction, while blocking another

4. Static progressive: Mobilizing force with no moving parts

5. Dynamic: To mobilize. Provide controlled movement. Uses one or more moveable parts.
98
New cards
Approaches of orthosis fabrication
Biomechanical: Applies principles of kinetics and forces acting on the body e.g., dynamic orthosis to apply forces in order to increase ROM

Sensorimotor: Inhibit or facilitate normal motor responses in persons with damaged CNS e.g., orthosis for managing spasticity

Rehabilitative: Focus on abilities rather than disabilities with goal of maximizing function within their abilities e.g., tenodesis orthosis to facilitate grasp/release
