Orthoses are external orthopedic devices designed to correct, stabilize and compensate for disorders of the musculoskeletal system, as well as provide protection and relief for joints.
A hinged ankle / foot orthosis, or gait orthosis, is needed to support ankle movement in only one plane.
Mobility is ensured by internal tamarack splints made in the USA by Becker.
Every day, the human ankle joint is subjected to enormous load. Few people think about this as long as the entire mechanism works smoothly, consistently and without failures. However, injuries, improper load distribution, and disorders of other body systems often cause thousands of people to suffer from diseases associated with this part of the body. And in this case, orthopedists recommend not to hesitate, but to purchase an orthosis for the ankle joint.
It is the ankle that is most often exposed to stress and injury. But considering that this particular part of the body is responsible for functioning of the entire musculoskeletal system, damage to it and neglect of treatment can ultimately lead to the most undesirable consequences, in particular, disability. To avoid this, doctors strongly recommend purchasing an ankle orthosis (fixator) if you experience the slightest discomfort or pain.
Materials:
Top: thermoplastic
Lining: hypoallergenic perforated pedilen
Fixation on the leg: with Velcro
Color: white or pattern of the patient’s choice
When to use an ankle orthosis?
