Here is some information on ankle-foot orthoses.
Ankle-foot orthoses primarily include three models:
Brace Fixation: Includes adjustable and non-adjustable types. Adjustable braces facilitate gradual restoration of mobility during rehabilitation, while non-adjustable braces provide stronger support to prevent displacement .
Cast Immobilization: Suitable for situations requiring long-term rigid fixation, such as non-compliant patients or children. Offers firm immobilization but restricts mobility .
Taping/Bandaging Fixation: Uses techniques like underwrap and athletic tape wrapping (e.g., figure-eight patterns) specifically for sports protection to enhance resistance against rotational forces .
Orthoses are primarily used for the following conditions:
Sprains: Such as ankle inversion or eversion, requiring short-term activity restriction to promote healing .
Fractures: Including stable fractures (small cracks with low displacement risk) and unstable fractures (requiring surgery or long-term immobilization) .
Rehabilitation Phase Protection: Preventing re-injury or excessive twisting during movement/exercise .
Key precautions include:
Pre-application: Clean skin and cover wounds with sterile gauze to prevent infection .
During Use (Selection & Compliance): Follow medical advice on model selection (e.g., use non-adjustable brace within 48 hours of sprain, switch to adjustable after two weeks .
Prioritize casting for non-compliant patients to prevent self-removal .
Maintenance & Cleaning: Clean with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight exposure or machine drying
Special Circumstances: Post-surgical fixation may be sufficient without additional bracing/casting, but weight-bearing should be avoided as instructed ..
