Tunics what they are. Types of orthopedic splints

Orthopedic splints are made depending on their purpose and location on the human body.

The tunics are divided into the following types according to their location.

• Orthopedic orthoses to secure the knee joint.
• Orthopedic orthoses for the ankle joint.
• Foot orthoses to relieve pressure on the lower limbs and adapt to the entire leg.
• Walking and sleeping orthoses for functional use.
• Joint orthoses for the upper limbs.

Their function can be divided into the following groups of body orthoses.

• Prophylactic. They serve to prevent joint injuries and acute exacerbations of chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
• Therapeutic. They are used in the complex treatment of injuries and diseases, to eliminate complications from the musculoskeletal system. They are also often used during the rehabilitation phase after an operation.
• Improving the quality of life. Splints of this type are used in the long-term treatment of disabilities caused by congenital and acquired defects of the musculoskeletal system.

All orthopedic splints have their own size table, but due to their universal design and additional adjustments, they can be easily adapted to any body and individual body characteristics. An orthopedic splint is often made on the patient or using a plaster cast. This most accurately reflects the body structure and is therefore the most effective.

An orthosis is an orthopedic aid. How to choose a good knee brace

Restoring the previous function of the knees after an injury or joint disease is very difficult. The rehabilitation process is complicated by the fact that there is a lot of stress on the knees. However, during the rehabilitation period, the knees must be protected from all types of stress. The success of remission and its duration depend on the correct treatment of the joints. In order to achieve improvement, a special orthosis is often used: a knee orthosis. The term orthosis is unfamiliar to many people, as is the synonym for orthosis: orthosis. A tunica is the medical term for an orthosis for the knee joint. Depending on the complexity and severity of the joint, a specialist may prescribe one of several types of orthoses. Like most orthoses, orthoses can be rigid, soft or semi-rigid. Wearing such orthoses helps prevent further damage to the knee and helps those who already have minor joint problems.

It is important to know that the right knee brace can only be selected with the help of a professional. To restore knee mobility, it is important to determine the exact degree of fixation. A loose fit, for example, can make the situation worse and the joint will not recover but will continue to deteriorate. If the fixation is too tight, the tissue is no longer supplied with the necessary nutrients, which also affects the knee.

Reasons for prescribing and features of body supports

Plaster casts for children should only be worn as prescribed by a doctor. He or she determines the area and type of attachment, monitors the wearing time and other characteristics.

There are several indications that may speak in favor of purchasing such a device:

• Correction of abnormal development of the musculoskeletal system.
• Reducing stress on joints, ligaments, muscles and bones.
• Treatment of diseases, including inflammatory diseases in remission.
• Rehabilitation after injuries or operations.

Restraint may also be necessary when a child has a severe disorder and realignment of the joints is essential for correct movement. You can order for example Braces for a child with cerebral palsy.

How do I choose?

In order to correctly choose an ankle brace, you need to know the measurements of the leg. To do this, measure the length and width of the foot and the circumference just above the ankle. You can compare the measurements with the size chart on the manufacturer's website or show them to the consultant at the orthopedic store.

If the patient wants a custom-made orthosis, also visit the orthopedic store. The consultants will help you take all the necessary measurements, and the manufacturer will then make your custom braces. However, you will need to be patient as it takes between 2 weeks and a month to produce a custom-made item. This product is significantly more expensive, but also lasts longer.

Custom ankle braces are not recommended for children due to rapid bone growth.

How is it created?

Before putting on the splint, you should give your feet a warm bath and then gently massage the injured area. It is important to wear a cotton sock under the brace to avoid chafing. Do not apply any creams before wearing the orthosis. After removing the orthosis, wash the foot with warm water and then apply formic alcohol to dry skin. This speeds healing and reduces pain.

If the patient needs help putting on the brace, the assistant should pay attention to how the patient is feeling. If the orthosis is too tight, the patient may experience numbness and coldness in the leg, tingling and severe pain. In addition, attention should be paid to the patient's discomfort and excessive pressure on the extremity should be avoided.

The duration of wearing the ankle orthosis can only be determined by the doctor. It depends on the severity of the injury, the complexity of the operation and the speed of the patient's recovery. On average, the orthosis is worn for up to 2 weeks. Remove the orthosis at regular intervals throughout the day. Massages or therapeutic exercises can be carried out as directed by the therapist. Wear the orthosis for up to 8 hours a day without taking it off.

knee brace

A splint evenly distributes the load on the joint during intensive sporting activities.
Several types have been developed and you should choose them depending on your specific situation. The following are distinguished according to their purpose:

• Functional – to support the knee joint after serious injuries.
• Rehabilitative (restorative) – contributes to the normalization of the joint after surgery or injury, prevents the reproduction of excessive movements, normalizes metabolic processes and accelerates recovery.
• The patellofemoral joints differ from the other types of joints in their structure. They have a soft patella socket that stabilizes the joint and creates this environment. This allows the kneecap to move smoothly.
• Prophylactic, sport. To prevent sprains and fractures during heavy physical strain. Separately distinguish between sports. They are designed for a specific sport - for skiers, hockey players, snowboarders, etc.

Soft elastic bands are used for light loads on the knee.
Knee pads differ in the material they are made from. They are differentiated according to:

Semi-rigid knee pads are made of strong fibers, are dimensionally stable and allow the joint to breathe. They are prescribed in early rehabilitation if the knee joint is not yet stable enough. Rigid protectors are used for fractures. They have metal inserts with plastic components (hinges), easily replace plaster casts and have a selective massage effect on the area to be touched.

The Alkom 3013 is one of the effective fixator models.

When, for whom and in what cases is a splint prescribed?

A qualified doctor, an orthopedic trauma surgeon or an orthopedic surgeon decides when an injured knee joint should be stiffened. Indications for use are:

• Acute injuries to the knee, patella, meniscus injuries, ligament tears, fractures, dislocations, knee operations;
• Various musculoskeletal abnormalities, malformations and deformities;
• Stroke, muscle paralysis, myositis – inflammatory lesion of the muscles of the lower limbs;
• Club foot, curvature, cerebral palsy.

Once the need for an orthopedic brace has been determined, the doctor will also

• It will help you choose the most suitable model for your treatment needs;
• select the appropriate size;
• adjust the orthosis and prescribe an acceptable level of support;
• determine the application conditions and the optimal wearing time;
• to prescribe a set of therapeutic exercises for the development of the joint.

Purchasing and adjusting a body orthosis without consulting a doctor is not permitted. Self-medication of the musculoskeletal system, violation of the wearing rules and non-compliance with medical recommendations can cause significant damage. Not only does it threaten the lack of therapeutic effect, but it can lead to irreversible consequences - progression of the disease, complete immobilization of the knee and thus disability.

Particular care should be taken when choosing a knee brace for a child. Children wear them for long periods of time, not only during the day but often at night as well. They should be comfortable, have the right size and meet all the requirements for a high-quality, safe and reliable pediatric orthopedic device:

Why do I need an orthosis?

An orthosis is a medical device, an external structure worn to protect or secure a limb affected by an illness or injury. These tools are used in the following cases:

• immobilizing an injured joint in a safe manner;
• Correction of the position of the limb or joint
• Restriction or activation of the ability to move;
• Partial relief of the joint.

Tail' devices are inexpensive devices that are not inferior in effectiveness to even expensive brand-name products.

Most often it is prescribed to people with arthritis, arthrosis, valgus and other joint diseases. It helps to speed up the healing of joints and bones after surgery by immobilizing them. It is worn as a preventive measure by people with weak ligaments and joints and in the final phase of fracture healing when there is only a gap in the bone.

Types of orthopedic aids

The medical devices market offers a large number of orthoses for children, which are divided into several groups. Depending on the purpose of the device, a distinction is made between prophylactic devices worn by people with a predisposition to pathology, therapeutic and rehabilitative devices worn during treatment and permanent devices used in advanced cases. However, a distinction is also made between universal products and products that are only suitable for the treatment of a specific disease. Depending on the manufacturing process, the following types of structures are distinguished:

• Individual – made to order according to the patient’s measurements;
• serial – assembled from prefabricated components and sold as a set;
• Prefabricated – consisting of individual modules and assembled at the site of injury.

The following classification divides these devices into different types depending on their function. A distinction is made between the following 3 types of orthoses:

• Tunic – is a soft orthosis that tightly closes the joint. Not good for fractures.
• Orthopedic splint – immobilization made of rigid material.
• Bandage – an elastic bandage that corrects a joint or limb.

Apart from the hardness of the material they are made of, there are 3 types: soft, medium hard and hard. The decision for one or the other variant is made solely by the orthopedic surgeon, depending on the type, nature and severity of the pathology that has arisen. In general, soft casts are preferred for rehabilitation while hard casts are used for healing.

species

As already mentioned, the bandages can be one-piece or separate. There are also different degrees of stiffness:

1. Lightweight (flexible) orthoses. They are most commonly used to prevent damage to the ankle joint. Recommended for all athletes to prevent dislocation or subluxation of the foot. They are similar to a regular sock without the toe material.
2. Medium stiffness. For use in mild dislocations or subluxations of the foot. Helps reduce functional stress on the foot and protect the joint. This rigidity forms the correct position of the foot and enables use at night. It allows the combination of rigid panels and flexible fabric in its structure.
3. Rigid bandages. They are designed for serious injuries to the lower limbs and foot and can replace plaster casts. They are used during the rehabilitation period after surgical interventions. They practically do not contain elastic fabric, only one-piece panels and locks.

Depending on the design, the orthoses can be standardized or custom-made. The second type is used for serious injuries that require long-term immobilization of the leg. Their purpose is divided into the following groups:

• Therapeutic and reconstructive. They are used for a specific period of time when a joint is affected by an injury or rheumatological disease.
• Functional. Are used permanently if there are pronounced degenerative-dystrophic processes in the joint. They help reduce the rate of destruction of cartilage tissue.
• Prophylactic. Used to prevent injury or illness.

Depending on the duration of the illness, the type and nature of the illness or injury, the doctor may recommend one type of orthosis or another. The situation is somewhat different when the product is prescribed for children.

• A high binding (up to the thigh) is indicated for knee injuries. It is particularly useful for older people as it prevents the use of an uncomfortable plaster cast.
• The patient may experience discomfort and even pain when supporting a painful limb; Proper fixation of the leg significantly reduces the load on the leg.
• For diseases of the musculoskeletal system such as deforming arthrosis, valgus deformities and other inflammatory processes in the joint cavity.
