Q

What are the 5 ways orthotics improve function?

A

1) Immobilize and protect weak, painful or healing MS segments.
2) Relief of pain by limiting ROM or weight bearing
3) Reduction of axial load
4) Prevent or correct deformity
5) Enhance motor control function

Q

Does leverage change force output?

A

Yessss

21
Q

What are the 4 forces to consider?

A

1) Tension and compression
2) Shear
3) Torsion
4) Ground reaction force

22
Q

What pressure system is used to control force if there is bending force?

A

3 point pressure system

23
Q

What does the 3 point pressure system involve?

A

A proximal and distal force on one side and a counterbalancing force on the opposite side.

24
Q

If the primary force is on the anterior side of the ankle, which way is the force directed?

A

posterior and inferior

25
Q

If the primary force is on the anterior side of the ankle, where does the counterbalancing forces come from and are directed?

A

the 2 counterbalancing forces come from the posterior side

  • one force is superior and directed anteriorly
  • the other is inferior and directed superiorly at the met heads.
  • if the primary force is flipped and comes from the posterior side so does the secondary forces.
26
Q

How are shear forces applied?

A

parallel to the surface

27
Q

True/False:

Shear forces can occur between different materials/tissues.

A

True

28
Q

True/False:

Torsion is a twisting force around an axis

A

True

29
Q

True/False:

Controlling of torsion is difficult

A

True

30
Q

True/False:

The longer the orthosis the greater the leverage.

A

True

31
Q

True/False:

As the length of the lever arm increases from the axis, the amount of force necessary to maintain the position decreases.

A

True

32
Q

Flexible deformity means

A

The alignment of the part can be corrected to a neutral or optimal position.

33
Q

Rigid deformity means

A

neutral alignment is NOT possible

34
Q

What does interim use mean?

A

the orthosis is only used for a short time.

35
Q

What does definitive use mean?

A

the orthosis is used permanently.

36
Q

What does dynamic use of an orthotic mean?

A

The device mechanically facilitates active movement.

37
Q

What does static use of an orthotic mean?

A

The device does not facilitate movement it is used for positioning

38
Q

True/False:

Custom or stock devices do not translate into interim or definitive use

A

true

39
Q

Do bars go horizontal or vertical on the orthosis?

A

bars go vertical

40
Q

Do bands go horizontal or vertical on the orthosis?

A

bands go horizontal

41
Q

True/False:

In order to be called a bar or a band the device has to be rigid or semirigid.

A

True

42
Q

True/False:

No bars/No bands = Flexible

A

True

43
Q

True/False:

In order to control motion there needs to be bars and bands and it has to be rigid material.

A

True

44
Q

True/False:

Semirigid has bars but no bands

A

True

45
Q

True/False:

The device is named for the joint and for the motions that it controls.

A

True

46
Q

Where on the disablement model does the orthosis effect and what level is the device trying change?

A 
effects= impairments in body structure and function
changes= functional limitations and activity limitations
47
Q

Where are the other 2 areas of considerations when prescribing an orthosis to a patient?

A

Cognition and social support

48
Q

What is a negative mold?

A

It is the shell or cast of a limb.

49
Q

What is a positive mold?

A

Is the plaster mold of the limb used to make the orthosis.
