Term
|
Definition
| a branch of mechanical and medical science that deals w/ the support and bracing of weak or ineffective joints or muscles |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| plastic device that assists weak DFs, allows DF and PF, no plantar flexion control or coronal plane stability, maintains foot in 90 deg. position during swing phase; used for pts w/ "drop foot" gait |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| plastic device that assists weak DFs and controls genu recurvatum moments; allows DF and resists PF; can give slight coronal plane stability |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| plastic device that positions a flail foot, controls moderate genu recurvatum and slightly resists knee buckling moments; resists DF and blocks PF; greater coronal control |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| rigidity of the design provides for excellent coronal plane control and DF assistance; the amount of motion can be customized to fit the pts' needs; metal double action jt (only used if pt has very damaged legs; outdated); also plastic versions w/ adjustable ROM jts |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| blocks PF and DF; positions a flail foot (drop foot w/ premature knee flexion where momentum of body cuases foot to cont. to DF), controls moderate genu recurvatum, and resists knee buckling moments; provides coronal plane control |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a form of a solid AFO designed to MAXIMIZE RESISTANCE TO KNEE BUCKLING; accomplished w/ a patella tendon level rigid anterior component; blocks DF and puts an extension moment on the knee |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| allows knee flexion and block hyperextension; maximum coronal stability |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| blocks flexion and hyperextension; maximum coronal stability |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| blocks flexion and extension; used when pt has a contracture; will accommodate a contracture and is adjustable if the pt corrects |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| absent reciprocal arm swing, persistent hip abduction, low duration of single support, high cadence |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| reciprocal arm swing, mature timing of knee and ankle, single support |
|
|
Term
| When does mature gait develop? |

Term
|
Definition
| forefoot adductus, calcaneal varus, inversion, PF talus |
|
|
Term
| Club foot biomechanical goals |
|
Definition
| plantar-grade foot and stretch soft tissues, evert and abduct foot, neutrally aligned calcaneus, DF foot |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ponsetti method of serial casting, coronal plane management then sagittal plane, use custom AFOs with Dennis Brown bar or pre-fab Wheaton AFOs, STRETCH med foot sructures to evert and abd foot (70 degrees ER is essential) |
|
|
Term
| Custom AFOs for club foot fxn |
|
Definition
| abduct forefoot, ER foot, DF foot |
|
|
Term
| Clinical indications of hip dysplasia |
|
Definition
| positive Ortolani or Barlow tests, tight adductors, asymmetric skin creases, asymmetric thigh lengths |
|
|
Term
| Biomechanical goals for hip dysplasia |
|
Definition
| maximize congruity b/t head of femur and acetabulum; hold thighs in maximum abduction and 100 degrees of flexion |
|
|
Term
| Orthoses for hip dysplasia |
|
Definition
| Pavlik harness and Ilfeld splint |
