22
Q

neoprene sleeves

A

provide some support for patellofemoral conditions

23
Q

guaze padding

A

less versatile than other padding; varied thickness.

used as an absorbent or a makeshift padding

24
Q

cotton

A

cheapest and most widely used; absorbs, holds emollients, offers a mild padding effect

25
Q

adhesive felt (moleskin)

A

cushioning and sturdy, very versatile, useful on all body parts

26
Q

felt

A

matted wool fibers pressed into carrying thickness; comfortable and semi resilient. gives firmer pressure, absorbs sweat and clings to skin.
less tendency to move, should be replaced daily

27
Q

foams

A

different thickness and density

resilient, nonabsorbent, protects against compressive forces

closed celled preferred because it rebounds

some are thermomodable

28
Q

sorbothane

A 
new class of foams . high-energy absorbing quality
is heavier. generally used in inner soles of shoes, prevents blisters and absorbs ground reaction forces
29
Q

Nonyielding materials

A

thermomoldable plastics

  • heat forming plastics
  • heat-setting plastics
  • heat-plastic foams

casting materials, making protective splints or shells

30
Q

heat forming plastics

A

heat to 140-180 plastic can be accurately molded to body part (Aquaplast or Orthoplast)

31
Q

heat-setting plastic

A

higher temps for shaping, rigid and more difficult to form. requires a mold
Kydex and Nyloplex

32
Q

heat-plastic forms

A

used as shoe inserts and other padding.

aloplast, plastazote

33
Q

casting materials

A

fiberglass. uses retina nd catalytic converter plus water to produce hardening

effective shells for splints and protective padding

34
Q

adhesives

A

many cements and glues join plastic to plastic or join other combinations of materials

35
Q

adhesive tape

A

major tool in holding various materials in place; linen and elastic tape can hold pads to a rigid backing or to adhesive felt. protect against sharp edges

36
Q

customized hard shell pads

A

thermomoldable plastic sheet, scissors, felt material

37
Q

dynamic splint

A

provide long-duration tension on a healing structure so it can return to normal function.

use thermoplastic, velcro, rubber elastic to provide dynamic assistance

38
Q

fitting a helmet

A

no damages, cracks, dents, check for certification, check for all pieces in place
determine what size - tape measure
wet their head - simulates sweat
snug fit, make sure the helmet doesn’t move,
ear holes line up,
everything covered - forehead, chin, back of head, ears
no gaps between padding and skin
3 fingers in between mask and face
no twisting, can see, etc

39
Q

fitting shoulder pads

A

epilet pads - covers deltoid
AC joint to Ac joint for measuring across the back
shoulder range of motion - pads shouldn’t shift
buckled up, all the pieces there, etc etc

40
Q

heel wedges

A

used to correct structural deformities

41
Q

shank

A

between heel and metatarsals, support weight of wearer

42
Q

last (3 types)

A

straight, curved, semi-curved

43
Q

straight last

A

filled on the medial side

for those with flat arch or pronators

44
Q

semi curved last

A

normal foot, small curve on medial side to fit normal arch

45
Q

curved last

A

provide forefoot stability

for those with high arch, or supinators

46
Q

soft materials examples

A

foams,, felt, adhesive felt, gauze padding,

47
Q

closed cell foams

A

rebound to original shape quickly,

48
Q

to correct forefoot varus (foot excessively pronates)

A

rigid orthotic, medial wedge under head of the first metatarsal. small wedge under medial calcaneus

49
Q

to correct structural forefoot valgus (foot excessively supinates)

A

semirigid orthotic, lateral wedge under head of the 5th metatarsal and small wedge under lateral calcaneus

50
Q

to correct structural rearfoot varus

A

the orthotic should be semirigid and have a wedge under the medial calcaneus and small wedge under the head of the first metatarsal

51
Q

soft orthotics

A

wildly available for overuse syndromes

52
Q

semirigid orthotics

A

made of flexible thermoplastics, rubber and leather.

molded from a neutral cast, made for those with increased symptoms

53
Q

rigid orthotics

A

functional orthotics

hard plastic, require neutral casting,
