Use of AFO   In CEREBRAL PALSY  CHILD and Other child Developmental Disability  What is a AFO brace An AFO is a device that is used to control instabilities in the lower limb by maintaining proper alignment and controlling motion. It is most often used with patients suffering from neurological or orthopedic conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, fractures, sprains and arthritis. What are the positive impacts of wearing an AFO? The results of these studies indicate that wearing an AFO can positively affect gait speed, temporal and distance factors, and joint kinematics and kinetics of the ankle and knee joints, but the effects of AFO use on gait when not wearing an AFO have not been shown.   Why do people with CP wear braces and orthotics? The strength and stability of a person's body is of paramount concern for individuals with Cerebral Palsy; the more stable a body is, the better a person can ambulate and complete tasks both big and smal...

Neurodevelopmental Treatment Technique Key Points of Control Following are the points from which spasticity is reduced and simultaneously to facilitate more normal postural and movement reactions. Head  Extension of the head (with extension of the shoulder girdle) Rising of the head in prone - lying, in sitting and standing, helps in most cases to facilitate extension in the rest of the body. But if there is an influence of symmetrical tonic reflex activity when the head is raised, flexion of the hips and legs may follow, and this , although neck and spine extend, may lead to lordosis and increased flexor spasticity of the hips and legs. If rising of the head produces a total extension pattern it is useful in prone lying and standing, but will interfere with hip flexion in sitting. Flexion of the head with flexion of the shoulder girdle. This will inhibit extensor spasticity or extensor spasms, (e.g. in spastic and athetoid patients with strong neck and shoulder retraction when the...

The  of Arch Of Foot  The arches are shaped by the metatarsal and tarsal bones and braced by tendons and ligaments of the foot.    Arches are supported by intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the sole in addition to ligaments, aponeurosis and shape of the bones.  Foot prints are not complete due to the arches The foot has to suffer from many disorders because of tight shoes or high heels which one wears for various reasons arches of the foot help in fast walking, running /land jumping In addition, these help weight-bearing and in providing upright posture the foot is really unique to human being.    Introduction  The foot has to act   1) as a pliable platform to support the body weight in the upright posture, and   2) as a lever to propel the body forwards in walking, running or jumping. To meet these requirements, the human foot is designed in the form of elastic arches or ' springs. These arches are segmented, so that they can ...
