LE Orthotics, RGO - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Bail-locking
        
        can disengage during sitting
        
        can activate flexion when the back of the knee hit the chair
      - Drop lock knee joint
        
        strictly uses gravity to lock
        
        needs to be manually unlocked
  - - - Controls the knee from buckling in stance phase and allows flexion during swing phase
      - Assists knee extension
  - - - Cons
        
        Heavy
        
        Less Cosmetic
        
        Must be attached to shoe
      - Pros
        
        Strong
        
        Durable
        
        Easy to adjust
    - - Pros
        
        Interchangeability with the shoes
        
        Better cosmesis
        
        Lightweight
      - Cons
        
        Hot
        
        Hard to Adjust
- - - - Used for: rigid forefoot varus
    - - Used for: rigid forefoot valgus
    - - Used for: rigid PF first ray
- - - - Protect knee structures from undue loading/stress
      - Preventive
      - Corrective
      - Permantent
  - - - Genu Varum
      - Genu Valgum
      - Genu recurvatum
- - - - provides support to hip, knee, ankle joints and the feet
        
        reduces risk of "jack-knifing" during ambulation
    - - partially restore functional mobility with high energy cost
    - - children with myelomeningocele
        
        prevention of flexion contracture or deformity of hips and knees
      - SCI patients
      - progressive NM disorders
  - - - 4 point reciprocal gait
      - 2 point reciprocal gait
- - - - Controls during stance AND swing phase
      - Doesnt depends on shoe structure
      - only controls joints in orthosis
      - Stable, uses a lot of energy for gait at restricted joint
  - - - Less stable, less restricting, energy efficient
      - Control during stance phase
      - Uses shoe structure
      - Controls joint directly in orthotic or proximal to orthotic
- - - - Pros
        
        lightweight
        
        fits into most shoes
        
        More ROM than solid
      - Cons
        
        Has no mediolateral control
      - Indications
        
        Reduced DF
        
        pt. has medial + lateral stability
      - Types
        
        Spring leaf
        
        Carbon fiber toe off
    - - Pros
        
        More stability
      - Cons
        
        no ROM
        
        in static position throughout gait
        
        not good for edema
      - Indications
        
        pt lacks mediolateral control
        
        pt lacks DF
    - - Pros
        
        light weight
        
        Can have a Stop for DF and PF, or basic
      - Cons
        
        Not good for edema
        
        Only sagittal plane movement
        
        Struggle to fit into shoes
      - Indications
        
        Able to perform motion
        
        Needs to be limited in one direction
