BACKGROUND Three-dimensional laser scanning has been used for patient measurement for cranial helmets and spinal braces. Ankle-foot orthoses are commonly prescribed for children with orthopaedic conditions. This trial sought to compare ankle-foot orthoses produced by laser scanning or traditional plaster casting. OBJECTIVES Assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of using laser scannin...
Introduction: With aging, the pattern of walking is altered, and the person’s ability to walk will be decreased. Also, with the beginning of the aging process, the coordination of the postural control system was disturbed and lead to an unstable condition. A small biomechanical change in the lower limb is significant on postural control. The use of textured foot orthoses leads to improved effic...
The objective of this study is to review the available literature on elbow orthoses in patients with various diagnoses to assess the scientific base of the prescription of elbow orthoses. A search of literature in Medline, Embase, Cochrane and Recal was performed using the keyword "elbow" combined with "orthosis related keywords". Abstracts were read to select the papers dealing primarily with ...
Range of motion at the wrist: a comparison study of four wrist extension orthoses and the free hand.
OBJECTIVE This study compared the total wrist range of motion permitted by four different styles of wrist extension orthoses and the free hand. METHOD Using a repeated-measures, counterbalanced design, 40 healthy female volunteers 20 to 39 years of age shot a basketball while free handed and while wearing each of four wrist extension orthoses: AlignRite; Rolyan D-Ring Long; Rolyan D-Ring Shor...
BACKGROUND foot orthoses have been described as a possible intervention for individuals with patellofemoral joint pain. No study has attempted to quantify the perceived comfort and support of foot orthoses when used as an intervention for patellofemoral joint pain. METHODS a randomized case-control trial with crossover between contoured and flat orthoses was conducted on ten individuals with ...
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of foot orthoses in the management of patellofemoral pain syndrome with flat inserts or physiotherapy, and to investigate the effectiveness of foot orthoses plus physiotherapy. DesignProspective, singleblind, randomisedclinical trial. Setting Single centre trial within a community setting in Brisbane, Australia. Participants 179 participants (100 women...
BACKGROUND First metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint pain is a common foot complaint which is often considered to be a consequence of altered mechanics. Foot orthoses are often prescribed to reduce 1st MTP joint pain with the aim of altering dorsiflexion at propulsion. This study explores changes in 1st MTP joint pain and kinematics following the use of foot orthoses. METHODS The effect of modifi...
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical efficacy of foot orthoses in the management of patellofemoral pain syndrome with flat inserts or physiotherapy, and to investigate the effectiveness of foot orthoses plus physiotherapy. DESIGN Prospective, single blind, randomised clinical trial. SETTING Single centre trial within a community setting in Brisbane, Australia. PARTICIPANTS 179 participants (...
BACKGROUND Despite evidence for use of foot orthoses in the treatment of anterior knee pain, there is a paucity of research into their mechanisms of action. This study (i) determined the immediate lower limb kinematics and muscle activity adaptations, and (ii) evaluated the effect of individual's comfort and foot mobility. METHODS Forty individuals diagnosed with anterior knee pain were measu...
Foot orthoses are commonly prescribed by health professionals as a form of intervention for the symptomatic foot in rheumatoid arthritis. However, there is a limited evidence base to support the use of foot orthoses in this patient group. This article provides a critical review of the use of foot orthoses in the management of rheumatoid arthritic foot pathologies. A search was conducted in the ...
