Knee-ankle-foot orthoses for treating posterior knee pain resulting from genu recurvatum: Efficiency, patients' tolerance and satisfaction.
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficiency of knee-ankle-foot orthoses for treating painful genu recurvatum, and to determine users' tolerance and satisfaction. PATIENTS Patients included in the study had a genu recurvatum during the stance phase, confirmed by a medical doctor on physical examination. A total of 27 patients with 31 knee-ankle-foot orthoses were included. METHODS The main outcome wa...
متن کاملGenu recurvatum following below knee amputation for congenital tibial pseudarthrosis
We report a case of premature arrest of the proximal tibial apophysis leading to genu recurvatum deformity following below knee amputation for congenital tibial pseudarthrosis. In the literature there are reported cases of genu recurvatum following early growth arrest at the proximal tibial apophysis, these typically followed fracture, skeletal traction or surgery and we believe this to be the ...
متن کاملEngineering design review of stance-control knee-ankle-foot orthoses.
Persons with quadriceps muscle weakness are often prescribed a knee-ankle-foot orthosis that locks the knee in full extension during both stance and swing phases of gait. Locking the knee results in abnormal gait patterns characterized by hip hiking and leg circumduction during swing. The stance-control knee-ankle-foot orthosis (SCKAFO), a new type of orthosis, has emerged that permits free kne...
متن کاملThe gait and energy efficiency of stance control knee-ankle-foot orthoses: A literature review.
BACKGROUND The use of knee-ankle-foot orthoses with drop locked knee joints produces some limitations for walking in subjects with quadriceps muscle weakness. The development of stance control orthoses can potentially improve their functionality. OBJECTIVES The aim of this review was to compare the evidence of the effect of stance control orthoses to knee-ankle-foot orthoses with drop locked ...
متن کاملGenu Recurvatum versus Fixed Flexion after Total Knee Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND To date, there is no study comparing outcomes between post-total knee replacement genu recurvatum and fixed flexion. This study aims to provide data that will help in deciding which side to err on when neutral extension is not achieved. METHODS A prospective cohort study of primary total knee arthroplasties was performed, which compared the 6-month and 2-year clinical outcomes betw...
