Orthotics cervical thoracic lumbar Flashcards
cranial remolding orthosis indications
- plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, scaphocephaly
- Cranial deformation secondary to torticollis
- post op craniosynostosis
What are spinal fitting goals
- substitute/assist axial muscle actions
- function as a kinesthetic reminder
- protect anatomical structures
- prevent/reduce pain
- prevent progression of condition/injury
- reduce severity of deformity
Soft cervical collar indications
- soft tissue injury
- hyper extension/flexion injury
- post cervical fusion
- mild cervical arthritis/nerve pain
How much immobilizations do soft collars provide
not much immobilization more kinesthetic reminder to limit movement
Philadelphia cervical collar indication
- post surgical application
- trauma, fractures
- immobilization for cervical metastasis
- cervical arthritis
- degenerative diseases
what is the main difference of philadelphia cervical collar and soft collar
tracheotomy access and more stability on philadephia

- post surgical
- stable cervical spine injuries
- degenerative disease
- cervical arthritis
What are some interesting things about the miami J/aspen collar
MRI compatible
can limit thoracic motion
