Ankle Foot Orthosis for Strokes Patients is a very effective treatment that will improve the function and movement of a patient's feet. It is made up of a molded, cast-metal frame and an upper and lower orthotic made of a soft material. The patient's medical records are documented in order to ensure the correct diagnosis is made, as well as the most appropriate orthotic. The orthosis is then adjusted to fit the patient's specific needs and the cast is removed once the adjustment is made.
Ankle Foot Orthosis for Strokes can be used to address problems associated with the foot due to diabetes, circulation problems or spinal stenosis, to name a few. The orthoses also come in a variety of styles to fit any patient's needs. The cast can be removed at any time and replaced by another if desired. It is important to remember that in order for the cast to stay in place, one must use proper footwear. Otherwise, the cast will eventually break and the patient will lose the ability to walk without pain and be unable to store their legs in the proper placement.
Properly fitted orthotics will also work in conjunction with other types of therapy in order to improve the quality of life for those who suffer from orthopedic conditions such as those caused by diabetes, circulation problems, and spinal stenosis. This form of therapy is also known as total foot care, as it involves many of the other parts of the body and the patient working together in order to improve their overall health. Many patients have reported increased energy levels and a decrease in pain after orthosis was used. The orthosis is also extremely helpful to the caregiver. With a little bit of practice, the patient can return to daily life feeling healthier than ever before, and their caregiver can sleep comfortably knowing their patient is well cared for.
