Wearing methods and precautions of children's ankle and foot orthosis
Today I will introduce the wearing methods and precautions of children's ankle and foot orthosis:
1. How to wear
1. Posture: Place the child on the bed flat, arms on both sides of the body, flex its legs slightly apart or place the child on the seat in a sitting position; 2. Method: make the child ankle Dorsal flexion, put the affected foot into the ankle-foot orthosis, and ensure that the heel is put in place, fit with the ankle-foot orthosis, and fasten the fixing strap; 3. Check the pressure position: pay attention to check the foot bones Heel, etc.) Is there a problem of excessive pressure on the part under pressure. The child should be asked if there is any pain within 30 minutes of first wearing, and the orthosis should be removed to check the red area under pressure.
2. Matters needing attention
1. The function of cerebral palsy ankle-foot orthosis is mainly to fix the ankle joint in the position that can maximize the function of the limb, prevent the ankle joint flexion and sagging, and promote the normal growth and development of children. However, prolonged fixation may cause ankle stiffness. Therefore, the orthosis must be removed every day to move the ankle to maintain the normal range of motion of the ankle.
2. For children with high muscular tension (extension: lower extremity extension, adduction cross, and scissors shape), when the orthosis is just started, the heel is often not worn in place, which is easy to cause local redness and even bruise. Children with more severe feet and flat feet may even cause local compression and pain at the site of bone protrusion. Parents can use the correct wearing method, adjust the elasticity of the fixing strap, massage the heel and tendon of the foot to ease the tension of the child, The wearing time is gradually increased and other ways to improve, if you still do not adapt, you should immediately contact the production unit to adjust the orthosis.
3. Children's parents must master the correct wearing and use of orthosis, and also must cooperate with the production unit to continue to follow-up and adjust the orthosis to finally achieve the best rehabilitation effect.
