Why an Orthotist?
While many of the conventional dynamic splints now available can be applied successfully by a range of practitioners, the involvement of an experienced, board-certified orthotist in initial casting, fabrication and fitting and for subsequent adjustments is strongly recommended, particularly for neurologically involved patients, others presenting with more challenging indications, and in frequently difficult long-term care settings.
Well-versed in biomechanics and experienced in working with the complete range of orthoses and materials, the certified orthotist can provide invaluable input in helping the rehab team determine what orthotic approach and system will work best for the patient the first time, thereby saving on costly replacements and restarts.
Further, the orthotist brings access to a complete workshop for customizing any orthosis to provide optimum patient comfort and accommodate unusual anatomy or medical conditions, as well as for making timely and cost-saving repairs and adjustments.
Successful management of contractures caused by spasticity secondary to stroke, head trauma or neurological disease frequently walks a fine line between insufficient corrective tension and pressure sufficient to trigger a spastic response, which more than cancels any therapeutic effect. Moreover, inadvertent application of excessive pressure can produce a fracture, particularly for older patients with long-term inactivity or undiagnosed osteoporosis.
For both concerns, our well-qualified orthotic staff offers special training and experience for successful contracture treatment with dynamic orthoses that uniquely address both precise therapeutic tension and a custom design to maximize outcome for challenging patients. Please call our office if we can help in the care of your patients with functional rehabilitation needs.
