Q2: Novel Orthotic Systems Flashcards
1
Q
Intended Use
Triple Action Ankle Joint
A
- Stroke
- TBI
- CP
- Spina Bifida
2
Q
Becker GEO
A
Gait Evaluation Orthosis (diagnostic rehabilitation tool)
3
Q
Features
TAAJ
A
Independent Adjustment
* PF resistance
* DF resistance
* Ankle ROM
* Alignment
Restistance of springs allows for more adjustment that the DAAJ
4
Q
AFO Design Considerations with TAAJ
A
- Rigid Material
- Single joint (up to 180 lbs)
- Double Joint (if over 180 lbs or spastic)
- Anterior shell if DF resist is needed
- Posterior shell if PF spasticity or knee ext.
5
Q
Clinical Tuning
TAAJ
A
Created simple optimization
Process includes:
* Bench alignment
* Static alignment
* Swing phase alignment
* Stance phase alignment
6
Q
Intended Use
NeuroSwing
A
- Stroke
- SCI
- TBI
- CP
7
Q
Features
NeuroSwing
A
Independent Adjustment
* PF resistance
* DF resistance
* Ankle ROM
* Alignment
8
Q
Clinical Considerations
NeuroSwing
A
Orthosis Configurator (on their website)
* Patient Data
* System Components
* Individual Adjustments
* Results
9
Q
Impression Process
NeuroSwing
A
- Find mechanical pivot points
- incorporate sensors into the impression
10
Q
Summary of Novel Systems
A
- provide independent adjustment of alignment, ROM, & sagittal plane resistace
- updated tuning procedures/configuration methods
- courses are available on the systems
