SCOPe – Orthotic Treatment of Neuromuscular – Pathologies – DAFO concept

By dmin

2428 Views

The treatment of postural and motor deficits in patients with motor and perceptual disorders requires a very detailed knowledge of the motor and neurological systems and experience in the individual application of treatment principles.

Within the theoretical part of the course essential concepts of therapy are conveyed through a set of multi-media lessons. The aim is to explain the effect of the dynamic foot orthoses on the control of tonus and movement, balance and stability as well as the sensory system.

The practical hands-on workshop will then focus on the clinical application of the acquired knowledge. Each work session is demonstrated and then implemented by the participant. After the appropriate model technique all steps of the DAFO production process are conducted and participants learn how to apply exact adjustment to arrive at optimal results.

SCOPe – Orthotic Treatment of Knee-Ankle-Foot Pathologies – KAFO concepts

By dmin

2834 Views

The clinical picture indicating the application of a knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) or and hip-knee-ankle foot orthosis (HKAFO) presents itself in very different manifestations. The complexity of the diseases requires a differentiated analysis of the actual situation. Based on this, the treatment goal must be defined in consultation with the physician and/or the therapist, and then implemented in the design.

The course provides an understanding of the functional anatomy of the lower limb and the requirements of individual pathologies. Furthermore, the effects of different paralyzes and deformities of the lower extremities on stability, balance and the gait are explained.

The course provides profound knowledge and clinical know-how on the application of KAFO’s to address knee deformities and leg length discrepancies in combination with various indications of paralysis. Aspects and inclusion of the hip will also be applied and concepts of HKAFO’s are explained and demonstrated.

During the clinical hands-on workshop participants will learn techniques on measurement and casting, model rectification and the production process of the different orthotic concepts. By fitting and testing the devices, gait analysis and outcome measures will conclude the workshop.

2633 Views

The clinical picture indicating the application of a foot orthosis (FO) or and ankle foot orthosis (AFO) presents itself in very different manifestations.

The complexity of the diseases requires a differentiated analysis of the actual situation. Based on this, the treatment goal must be defined in consultation with the physician and/or the therapist, and then implemented in the design.

The course provides an understanding of the functional anatomy of the lower limb and the requirements of individual pathologies. Furthermore, the effects of different paralyzes on the gait are explained and the possibilities of gait improvement by orthotic devices are presented.

The UCB-ST Orthosis presents the fundament for de-rotation of the entire lower extremity and therefore will be introduced prior to the application of the AFO and GRAFO concepts.

The course provides knowledge and clinical know-how on the de-rotation orthosis (UCB-ST) to address calcaneus valgus deformities and the application of different types of AFO’s to address the relevant pathologies accordingly.

During the clinical hands-on workshop participants will learn techniques on measurement and casting, model rectification and the production process of the different orthotic concepts. By fitting and testing the devices, gait analysis and outcome measures will conclude the workshop.
