ABOVE KNEE PROSTHESIS

A pneumatic knee joint is a type of artificial knee joint that uses compressed air to assist with movement and support. it use in above knee prosthesis . feature :- Dynamic Movement: Pneumatic systems allow for smooth and adaptive movements, mimicking natural knee motion. A typical pneumatic cylinder consists of a cylinder barrel, a piston, seals, and end caps. It may also include ports for air input and output. Compressed air is introduced into the cylinder through an inlet port. This air is typically generated by an air compressor. As the compressed air enters the cylinder, it pushes against the piston. This pressure causes the piston to move in one direction (extend or retract) depending on the configuration of the cylinder. When the piston reaches the end of its stroke, the air can be vented out through an exhaust port, allowing the piston to return to its original position. This can happen either automatically or through a control system. The motion can be controlled using valves that regulate the flow of air into and out of the cylinder, allowing for precise control of the piston’s movement. Lightweight Design: Pneumatic components can be lighter than traditional mechanical parts, improving comfort for the user. Shock Absorption: The system can absorb impact, reducing stress on other joints and enhancing overall mobility.

Orthosis

A static ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is an orthopedic device designed to support, align, and improve the function of the ankle and foot. Unlike dynamic AFOs, which allow for movement, static AFOs are rigid or semi-rigid and provide fixed support to maintain the position of the foot and ankle. Key Features Design and Materials: Static AFOs are typically made from materials such as plastic or carbon fiber. These materials create a sturdy framework that is custom-molded to the individual's foot and leg, ensuring a proper fit and maximum support. Purpose: The primary goals of a static AFO are to correct or prevent deformities, provide stability, and relieve pain. They are commonly used to manage conditions such as: Drop Foot: A condition where the foot cannot be lifted properly, making walking difficult. Cerebral Palsy: A disorder characterized by muscle stiffness and control issues that affect gait and foot positioning. Stroke: To assist with walking by supporting the affected leg and foot. Post-Surgical Recovery: To immobilize the ankle and foot after surgery, promoting proper healing. Components: Footplate: Covers the sole of the foot and provides essential support. Calf Strap: Secures the AFO to the leg, usually adjustable for comfort. Padding: Often lined with foam or other cushioning materials to enhance comfort and prevent skin irritation. Benefits Improved Function: Helps individuals maintain or enhance their walking ability by keeping the foot in a functional position. Injury Prevention: Reduces the risk of falls and injuries by stabilizing the foot and ankle. Deformity Management: Prevents or corrects deformities by maintaining proper alignment of the foot and ankle. Fitting and Customization For optimal effectiveness, static AFOs are custom-fitted to each individual. This usually involves taking precise measurements or molds of the foot and leg to ensure the device supports the unique anatomical structure and needs of the user. In summary, a static AFO is managing various foot and ankle conditions by providing fixed support and alignment. Its success depends on a proper fit and regular use, making it an essential component of many orthopedic and rehabilitation strategies.  Address:  House NO -27, Gita Nagar, Society, Opposite Sanghvi Tower, Adajan Rd, Adajan, Surat, Gujarat 395009  Flat no. 1, Laxmi Mahal Apartment, 2163, near Neelayam Theatre, Sadashiv Peth, Pune, Maharashtra 411030  Plot No 17, 40, Rajdanga Sarat Pk Rd, near MEGHALAYA HOUSE, next to Pearl dental clinic, Shantipally, Block-BA, P.S:, Kasba, Kolkata, West Bengal 700107  46, Mona Shopping Center,, Andheri West,, near Navrang Theater, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400053 9377466476,8128996476 evolution healthcarepvt ltd

Walking Aid

A walking aid is a device designed to assist individuals with mobility issues in walking or maintaining balance. It provides additional support and stability, improving the user's confidence and reducing the risk of falls. Here are some common types of walking aids: Canes: Canes are the simplest walking aids and provide basic support. They come in various designs, such as single-point canes, quad canes (with four points), or offset canes. Canes are suitable for individuals who require minimal assistance or stability. Crutches: Crutches are typically used when one leg is injured or unable to bear weight. They come in two types: underarm crutches and forearm crutches. Underarm crutches extend under the arms, while forearm crutches have cuffs that wrap around the forearm. Crutches require good upper body strength and coordination to use effectively. Walkers: Walkers are sturdy frames with four legs that provide excellent stability. They are ideal for individuals who need substantial support or have difficulty maintaining balance. Walkers can be further classified into standard walkers, wheeled walkers, and rollators. Rollators have wheels and brakes, providing more mobility and maneuverability. Walking Frames: Walking frames are similar to walkers but typically have two wheels at the front. They offer stability and support while walking and are suitable for individuals who need assistance but have better balance than those requiring a walker. Knee Walkers/Scooters: Knee walkers or scooters are alternatives to crutches for individuals with lower leg injuries or surgeries. They have a padded knee rest and wheels, allowing the user to propel themselves forward while keeping the injured leg elevated. The choice of walking aid depends on the individual's specific needs, abilities, and the nature of their mobility issues. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a physiotherapist or doctor, who can assess the user's condition and recommend the most appropriate walking aid for them.

Rehabilitation Aid

Rehabilitation aids are devices or equipment designed to assist individuals in their recovery process following an injury, surgery, or illness. These aids help improve mobility, strength, flexibility, and overall functionality. Here are some common types of rehabilitation aids: Exercise Equipment: Various exercise tools and machines can aid in rehabilitation. These include resistance bands, therapy balls, balance boards, and pedal exercisers. They help strengthen muscles, improve range of motion, and enhance balance and coordination. Walking Aids: As mentioned earlier, walking aids like canes, crutches, walkers, and knee walkers/scooters can assist individuals in regaining mobility during their rehabilitation journey. Orthotic Devices: Orthotic devices are supportive braces or splints used to immobilize or support specific body parts during the healing process. They can provide stability and protect joints, muscles, or ligaments. Examples include knee braces, ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), wrist splints, and back braces. Range of Motion (ROM) Devices: ROM devices help individuals regain or maintain joint mobility. They can be passive or active. Passive devices, such as continuous passive motion (CPM) machines, move the joints through a controlled range of motion without the individual's effort. Active devices, like pulley systems or therapy bands, require the individual to actively move the joint. Assistive Devices for Activities of Daily Living (ADL): These aids help individuals perform everyday tasks independently during their rehabilitation. Examples include reachers/grabbers, dressing aids, adaptive utensils, shower chairs, and raised toilet seats. Electrical Stimulation Devices: Electrical stimulation devices use low-level electrical currents to stimulate nerves and muscles. They can be used to manage pain, prevent muscle atrophy, improve muscle strength, or promote tissue healing. Balance and Coordination Tools: Balance boards, stability discs, and wobble cushions are aids that help improve balance, coordination, and proprioception. It's important to note that the specific rehabilitation aids needed may vary depending on the individual's condition, the stage of rehabilitation, and the guidance of healthcare professionals. Consulting with a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, or healthcare provider is crucial to determine the most appropriate rehabilitation aids for an individual's specific needs and goals.

Orthotic

A Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (KAFO) is a custom made brace that starts above the knee and extends all the way down the leg to the end of the toes. These braces will normally include a knee joint and possibly an ankle joint as well. A KAFO is prescribed by your physician when there is significant weakness and/or instability at the knee and ankle joints. The KAFO will allow patients to stand by locking the knee joint in the brace when the thigh muscles are too weak to support the knee. This brace can also reduce significant knee hyperextension (genu recurvatum) during the gait cycle. KAFOs can be extended to the hip to provide additional support to the hip joint if necessary.  The KAFO is commonly used in the treatment of: 1-Blount’s Disease 2-Genu Recurvatum 3-Post-Polio 4-Spinal Cord Injury 5-Arthrogryposis 6-Cerebral Palsy 7-Polio 8-Spina Bifida  At your initial assessment you will meet with your Orthotist to go through a complete assessment of your strength and range of motion and undergo an observational gait analysis. There are many different designs of KAFOs, each with different functions and levels of support. In collaboration with your Orthotist at OrthoProActive and your health team, we will determine which KAFO design will help to provide you with the best functional outcomes.

Orthotic

Safety Stride KAFO  The SafetyStride is a mechanical stance control orthotic knee joint that utilizes a low-profile cabling system to automatically unlock itself at the end of stance phase. The key feature of the SafetyStride is its ability to resist knee flexion at any angle. The SafetyStride does not require full 180° knee extension to resist knee flexion in stance phase. Designed to unlock at terminal stance, an internal lever re-engages during swing phase to ensure knee joint stability prior to heel contact. Individuals who intermittently fail to reach full extension will now have the added security and stability they require while ambulating. The SafetyStride works in conjunction with the FullStride and can be easily installed on a FullStride equipped KAFO.  It give more natural Gait  If we add a Pneumatic cylinder it will assit the quadriceps muscle and patient feel more comfortable.
