Pediatric Foot Orthoses PPT

advertisement
 Most orthoses made for children are motion-
controlling or motion-altering
 Accommodative devices are less frequently
required in this age group.
 The relatively light weight of a child means
materials that are more forgiving with
increased flex in a heavier individual such as
an adult will resist collapse more readily in a
child
 This allows you to choose from a wide range
of material properties, shell thicknesses and
filler options while still achieving the desired
goal of motion control
 The ideal orthosis for a child will limit
excessive or undesired motions while still
allowing normal motions that are so
important for ideal development
Key Posting Considerations
 Dynamic compensations for Varus deformities of the rearfoot
and leg require POSTING
The amount of control a post provides is determined by
numerous factors:
 the number of degrees the post is angled
 the stiffness or resistance to compression of the posting material
 anterior-posterior length of the post and the width of the post
 A longer, wider post made of a stiffer material will offer the most
control to the rearfoot and leg
 There is a reduced need for forefoot posting in children under
the age of 6.
Be Aware Of Predisposing Risk
Factors In The Pediatric Pronated
Foot
 A child may exhibit a weak foot structure leading to
pronation, but may also have additional predisposing risk
factors that may affect the foot in its overall development and
function. These risk factors include, but are not limited to,
ligamentous laxity, obesity, rotational and angular
disorders and ankle equinus
 Shells made of more rigid materials and/or of increased
thickness are the best choices for treating children who have
generalized ligamentous laxity
 Other modifications such as a deep heel seat, increased
calcaneal pitch to lock the oblique midtarsal joint axis and
medial and lateral flanges to reduce transverse plane
compensations of the midfoot will aid in control of the foot
with notable laxity
 Thicker shells and more rigid materials are also necessary in
managing the pronated foot in the obese child
 Longitudinal arch fillers will help reduce the increased
compression of the arch area of the shell in overweight
patients. Soft tissue supplementation at the foot/orthosis
interface may help reduce the hard feel of such devices and
increase shock absorption necessary for sports.
How To Handle Rotational And
Angular Disorders
Rotational and angular disorders that produce both intoeing and out-toeing, bowing and knock-knees may
contribute to a compensatory pes valgus. Orthoses for
angular disorders benefit from high posting and outflared or wide posts to stabilize the post plate in the
frontal plane.
Treatment Tips For Ankle Equinus
 Fully compensated equinus foot, often characterized by pronation of
the subtalar joint with consequent unlocking of the oblique
midtarsal joint axis to allow for dorsiflexion and abduction to occur
at the midfoot, is a major cause of pediatric pronation
 Childhood ankle equinus may be developmental or pathologic:
 Developmental equinus typically accompanies a rapid bone growth
spurt, resulting in relative shortening of the muscles
 Pathologic equinus may be congenital or result from other etiologic
causes
 Both exert harmful forces on the foot, either initiating abnormal
pronation or aggravating pronation already present in the child.
 In addition to stretching the tight musculature, orthotic
control of the abnormal midfoot is usually necessary
 Adding heel raises to an orthotic device to plantarflex
the foot and increasing the amount of available
dorsiflexion of the ankle for midstance are effective at
helping to reduce compensation in this foot type
 In addition, the presence of equinus may limit the
degree of control that can be tolerated by
Other Helpful Treatment Insights
 Patients with a talocalcaneal coalition have reduced subtalar
joint motion and frequent peroneal spasm. Employing a rigid
orthosis from a pronated cast with a deep heel seat and a 0degree rearfoot post is often successful at reducing painful
motion
 When you treat children with a calcanonavicular coalition,
keep in mind that reduced subtalar joint motion and
peroneal spasm are less common
 Calcaneal apophysitis (Sever’s disease) is an inflammation
(sometimes considered an osteochondrosis) of the secondary
growth center of the calcaneus. It is frequently accompanied
by a tight heel cord and may be aggravated by high loads
through the heel.
PEDIATRIC OTHORSES
A. LOWER EXTREMITIES
D-DAFO
 “Dynamic Ankle-Foot Orthosis” (also called “Tone Reducing AFO”
and “Total Contact AFO”)
 A dynamic, total contact orthosis which works exceptionally well for
children with spasticity.
 Maintains the correct alignment of the bones in the foot and ankle.
 Application: Cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, spastic diplegia
 Description: Thin, flexible, molded thermoplastic orthosis covering
the entire foot; custom-contoured footplate; designed to distribute
weight-bearing forces over large area

provide proper alignment
D-DAFO
1 Low Profile D-DAFO
 Provides dynamic alignment and support for the foot
and ankle
 Allows plantar flexion and dorsiflexion
2 Full Length D-DAFO
 The dynamic design and material work on volume and
will remain very comfortable even as children begin to
outgrow them. This feature allows more time in the
orthoses and a decrease in the likelihood that the patient
will be unable to wear them before a new, larger DDAFO is needed
 Blocks plantar flexion and allows dorsiflexion.
3 Solid Ankle AFO
 Application: Varum and valgus deformities
 Description: Custom-fabricated thermoplastic, metal or
composite device designed and trimmed for a patient’s
unique needs
 Function: Provide proper alignment, block plantar flexion
and dorsiflexion
4 Solid Ankle AFO w/ pre-tibial shell (anti-crouch)
 This Solid Ankle AFO with anterior panel is designed to
prevent dorsiflexion and plantar flexion.
 The 'ground reaction' will also help to push the knee into
extension during weight bearing.
5 Articulating AFO

adjustable/removable plantar flexion stop
 It is also possible to add dorsiflexion assist or check
straps
6 UCBL
 Custom made insert for controlling a hyper-mobile
pes-planus or cavus.
 It supports the arches of the foot and maintains the
relative position of the hindfoot, midfoot, and
forefoot.
7 Reciprocating Gait Orthosis
 Provides parlalitic patients with the support and ability to stand
and take steps with assistance
 The entire system can wiegh as little as 3.5 lbs. for smaller
patients
 RGO is the most frequently used brace for the ambulatory needs
of a paralyzed child or adult
Description:
 HKAFO incorporating cable system or similar method of
mechanically translating hip extension on one side into hip
flexion on the contralateral side.
Application:
 Lower-body neurologic impairment indicated in L1-L3 lesions in
children with functioning iliopsoas and hip adductors.

11 Floor reactions orthosis
 used with patients affected by neurological conditions such as spina
bifida, cerebral palsy, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and post-polio
paralysis.
 In these cases, the floor reaction AFO functions to maintain the affected
joints in proper alignment, to accentuate knee extension at midstance,
and compensate for weak or absent gastroc soleus (calf) muscles.
 A floor reaction AFO places the extension force closer to the knee than
other AFO’s and uses a rigid anterior shell with padding
 Description: Rigid thermoplastic or laminate AFO with neutral ankle
position and a broad anterior panel just below the knee
