Genu varum (bowlegs) and genu valgum (knock-knees) are common knee deformities in children that often resolve naturally as they grow. Genu Varum (Bowlegs): In this condition, the knees are apart while the feet and ankles are together, creating an outward curve. It’s typical in infants and toddlers (1-3 years old) and usually improves by age 3 or 4. If severe or persistent, orthotics or braces may be used to support proper alignment and guide bone growth. Genu Valgum (Knock-Knees): Here, the knees touch but the feet are apart. It is common in children aged 3-5 and typically corrects itself over time. If it persists, orthotics or braces may be used to improve alignment. Orthotics and Braces: Orthotics are shoe inserts that correct foot misalignment, potentially improving knee positioning. Braces or splints may be used in severe cases to guide proper bone growth. Braces: In more severe cases of genu varum or genu valgum, braces or splints might be used to help guide the bones to grow in the correct position. These devices are typically used when there's a concern about the condition not self-correcting over time. Braces may be worn during activities to promote proper alignment during movement.

Charcot foot, which is a condition that affects the bones in the foot and ankle and often leads to joint deformities and instability, specialized insoles can be crucial in providing support and preventing further damage. Here are a few types of insoles that might be used: Custom Orthotics: These are specially designed to match the unique contours of your feet. They help distribute pressure evenly, stabilize the foot, and prevent further deformities. A podiatrist or orthotist can create these based on a detailed assessment of your foot structure and needs. Offloading Insoles: These are designed to reduce pressure on specific areas of the foot. For Charcot foot, offloading insoles can help redistribute pressure away from the affected areas to help prevent ulcers and further complications. Rocker Sole Insoles: Rocker soles have a rounded heel-to-toe transition which can help reduce stress on the foot while walking. This can be particularly helpful for individuals with Charcot foot to improve gait and reduce discomfort. Cushioned Insoles: Providing additional cushioning can help absorb shock and reduce the impact on the foot. This can be beneficial if you experience pain or discomfort due to Charcot foot. Rigid Insoles: Sometimes, a more rigid insole is needed to offer strong support and prevent excessive movement of the foot, which can be helpful in managing the condition and preventing further deformity.

A heel ulcer is an open sore that develops on the skin of the heel, typically as a result of prolonged pressure or friction on the area. Heel ulcers can be painful and may take a long time to heal, especially in individuals with poor circulation or diabetes. There are several factors that can contribute to the development of a heel ulcer, including: Prolonged pressure on the heel due to immobility or sitting or lying down for extended periods of time Friction from ill-fitting shoes or socks Poor circulation, which can lead to slow healing and an increased risk of infection Diabetes, which can cause nerve damage and reduce sensation in the feet, making it more difficult to detect and treat ulcers Treatment for a heel ulcer typically involves relieving pressure on the affected area and keeping the wound clean and protected. This may involve the use of specialized dressings, pressure-relieving devices, and wound care techniques. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove damaged tissue or correct underlying structural problems in the foot or ankle. Prevention is key in avoiding heel ulcers. This can involve regular foot inspections, wearing well-fitting shoes, and maintaining good blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes.

A forefoot ulcer is a wound or sore that develops on the ball of the foot, typically as a result of prolonged pressure or friction on the area. Forefoot ulcers can be painful and may take a long time to heal, especially in individuals with poor circulation or diabetes. There are several factors that can contribute to the development of a forefoot ulcer, including: Prolonged pressure on the ball of the foot due to standing or walking for extended periods of time Friction from ill-fitting shoes or socks Poor circulation, which can lead to slow healing and an increased risk of infection Diabetes, which can cause nerve damage and reduce sensation in the feet, making it more difficult to detect and treat ulcers Treatment for a forefoot ulcer typically involves relieving pressure on the affected area and keeping the wound clean and protected. This may involve the use of specialized dressings, pressure-relieving devices, and wound care techniques. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove damaged tissue or correct underlying structural problems in the foot or ankle. Prevention is key in avoiding forefoot ulcers. This can involve regular foot inspections, wearing well-fitting shoes, and maintaining good blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes.

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.

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.
