Dynamische Elastomer-Orthesen - ein neues Konzept für die orthetische Versorgung

Zusammenfassung: The aim of these case studies was to select specific patient group and look at the effect of wearing Dynamic GPS Lycra Orthosis on them. As seen by ourselves, the therapists involved and the family/carers.

Zusammenfassung: There are numerous orthotic intervetions specifically designed for the supporting shoulder instability, however, most are cumbersome, often hot to wear and not necessarily fit for purpose. This is often due to the diagonal lines of pull provided by the orthoses. In contrast, the condition requires vertical force to re-locate the shoulder joint and re-align the musculature. The use of a unique dynamic shoulder stability orthoses appears to have overcome some of the reported experiences shown by the use of repeated radiographical images.

Zusammenfassung: Case study: Subject in her 30’s; first contact was made in the fifth month of gravida 2. She had been suffering from anterior and posterior pelvic pain and bilateral hip pain since early pregnancy. A pelvic belt helped pain, but proved uncomfortable.

Zusammenfassung: This paper describes a novel, proof of concept, combined intervention utilising functional foot orthotics, dynamic elastomeric fabric orthoses and functional electrical muscle stimulation on a child with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Using five video films in both sagital and coronal planes the natural evolution of change proceeds from bilateral toe barefoot walking to bilateral heel strike all recorded in one session. The combination presents an opportunity of a possible insight for the future of orthotics, particularly in the provision of early orthotic intervention in the children with cerebral palsy.
