Q

Common goal and purpose for the use of orthotic device.

A

Prevention and Correction of Deformity (Static); Improvement of Function (Dynamic)

20
Q

Why is pressure distribution a principle of orthotic application?

A

To unload areas that have excessive weight bearing especially in bony prominences.

21
Q

Why is comfort a principle of orthotic application?

A

Because the patient should be comfortable while using orthosis in their daily activities.

22
Q

Why is wearer independence a principle of orthotic application?

A

Because we want out patient to independent in everything they do.

23
Q

Why is conservation of energy an principle of orthotic application?

A

Because it is recommended when patient wants to be physically active.

24
Q

T/F: Simplicity and durability of materials is not a principle of orthotic application.

A

False.
It is!

25
Q

5 Types of Orthotic Materials

A

Metals, Leather, Rubber, Plastics, Fabrics

26
Q

The disadvantage of using metal as a material for orthotic appliances is that the weight is heavy which sacrifices _____.

A

The patient’s conservation of energy

27
Q

T/F: The advantage of using metal as a material is that it is strong, durable, resistant to deformation ,and fatigue-resistant.

A

True!

28
Q

This type of metal has a high strength:weight ratio. It is low cost but heavy and expensive.

A

Steel

29
Q

This type of metal is corrosion resistant, high strength to weight ratio, and has a low endurance limit.

A

Aluminum

30
Q

This type of metal is more resistant to corrosion , durable, and light weight. Though it is costly.

A

Titanium & Magnesium

31
Q

This type of orthotic material can retain a molded shape permanently, vegetable tanned, and for texture which helps prevent skin irritation.

A

Leather

32
Q

This material is one of the basic components of an orthotic device, especially for shoes. It has good resistance to cold and aging, and has good tear and abrasion resistance.

A

Rubber

33
Q

This orthotic material is synthetic and can be molded, extruded, laminated into a desired form. It is suitable for direct application with little or no toxicity.

A

Plastics

34
Q

This type of plastic uses a temperature of 80 degrees to become workable and maybe shaped directly to the body.

A

Low temperature Thermoplastics

35
Q

This type of plastic should be first made into a negative mold and used to make the positive mold.

A

High temperature thermoplastics

36
Q

This type of plastic material develop a permanent shape when heat and pressure are applied and maintain a memory.

A

Thermosetting Plastics

37
Q

This orthotic material is used as a lining and protects the skin to provide comfort, permit selective yield, or to aid in fastening or snug fit.

A

Fabrics

38
Q

This orthotic material aids in smoother donning & doffing.

A

Fabrics

39
Q

This orthotic type of source of power is muscle contraction

A

Internally Powered

40
Q

This orthotic type of source of power is batteries.

A

Externally powered

41
Q

This criteria of splint is a single directional force and affects motion at one or multiple joints within a segment in a similar manner.

A

Simple Splint

42
Q

This criteria of splint affects motion at two or more joints within a segment in a dissimilar manner through opposing force system.

A

Compound Splint

43
Q

This criteria of splint is designed to influence the amplitude of the long extrinsic tendons on a given joint or joints. It is mostly applicable to dynamic splints.

A

Long Splints

44
Q

Splint to use if all joints of a digital ray are similarly affected.

A

Finger or Thumb

45
Q

Splint to use for affectation of the wrist and hand.

A

WHO: Wrist Hand Orthosis

46
Q

This type of splint keeps the wrist raised upward to prevent flexion deformity.

A

Cock-up Splint
