Gait recovery in a distal spinal muscular atrophy patient wearing a patellar tendon-bearing orthosis and orthopaedic shoes.
OBJECTIVE To illustrate that a patient with distal spinal muscular atrophy can recover gait with a combination of orthoses and orthopaedic shoes. SUBJECT A 28-year-old man with distal spinal muscular atrophy affecting only the distal muscles of the lower limbs. Clinical examination showed a bilateral pes cavus with a varus and a 90 degrees equinus of the ankle joint. METHODS The patient was...
متن کاملThe patellar-tendon-bearing prosthesis.
Obviously there is no "ideal" leg substitute short of regenerating or transplanting another normal leg. The surgeon, the prosthetist, and the amputee alike have long accepted major deficiencies in leg prostheses as inescapable concomitants of aid in a situation demanding drastic compromise. Substitution of an artificial leg for a natural one involves not only manual skills and the principles of...
متن کاملA new directly moulded patellar-tendon-bearing socket.
Silicone rubbers and casting tapes individually have previously been used in the manufacture of sockets (Swanson, 1972; Sweitzer, 1973; Ruder, 1977; Graves, 1980; Aqualite, 1982). The authors believe that the present combination of these materials to manufacture a directly moulded socket with a complete silicone rubber lining of variable thickness has not previously been described. The new sock...
متن کاملThe Effect of Rocker Bar Ankle Foot Orthosis on Functional Mobility in Post-Stroke Hemiplegic Patients
Objectives: Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are widely utilized to improve walking ability in hemiplegic patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Rocker bar Ankle Foot Orthosis (RAFO) on functional mobility in post-stroke hemiplegic patients. Methods: Fifteen hemiplegic patients (men and women) who were at least 6-months post-stroke and able to walk without assistive device for...
متن کاملSome experience with patellar-tendon-bearing below-knee prostheses.
AN THE latter part of 1958, prothetists of the Limb and Brace Section of the U. S. Veterans Administration Prosthetics Center, New York City, were indoctrinated in the technique of fabricating the patellar-tendon-bearing (PTB) cuff-suspension below-knee prosthesis. Preliminary experience encouraged VAPC to institute in the spring of 1959 a form of clinical study. Selection of the patients fitte...
