Orthotics are orthopedic devices which are proven for decades, and are subject to constant technological change process.
Originally constructed of iron bars and leather sleeves, dominate the present day most high-tech materials such as carbon fibers and special foams, which benefit in particular to reduce the weight and stability, similar to Formula 1 racing cars are.
A distinction is made-prostheses that can be drawn from it were the rule, and of customized orthotics.
Particularly important is the analysis, which function is to replace the prosthesis. And to distinguish whether it is an orthosis is to be used only for a certain period of time, such as in the first weeks after surgery, or what the patient needs to speak for life in certain conditions.
It is recommended that after cruciate ligament in the implementation of rotational sports like tennis, skiing, permanently, as it were, like the seat belt while driving, wear a splint on the knee carbon fiber, which helps prevent injuries but times of the graft.
The orthoses must be close coordination between the patient, the requirements, the prescribing physician, which defines exactly which function is to be compensated, and with the prosthetist who will provide the technical implementation must be performed.
Particular attention is both the shoe and finishing with the orthosis on the final judge. be necessary to examine whether what was prescribed by a physician, was actually implemented in the form. Often have multiple post-corrections are made until a final result is achieved.
For this reason, in the joint clinic Dr. Baum has conducted a special orthopedic technical consultation from the beginning, in which the prosthetist with the doctor and the patient together discuss the regulation and carrying out the adjustment and final inspection.
