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

ABOVE KNEE PROSTHESIS (ARTIFICAIL LIMB ABOVE THE KNEE) An above-knee prosthesis, also known as a transfemoral prosthesis, is an artificial limb designed to replace a missing leg above the knee joint. This sophisticated piece of technology plays a pivotal role in restoring mobility and functionality for individuals who have undergone knee amputations. Components and Structure: Socket: The custom-made socket is a crucial component that interfaces with the residual limb. It provides a secure and comfortable fit, allowing for weight distribution and control. Evolution Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. produces unique designs that give more comfort to the patient. There are so many socket designs, like MAS sockets, Ischial containment sockets, narrow AP ML sockets, and quad-socket designs. We follow the most advanced socket design called MAS socket design. Liner: The liner is a soft, cushioning material that goes between the residual limb and the socket. It enhances comfort, reduces friction, and aids in shock absorption. There two type liner according to material one is silicon prosthetic liner and thermos polyurethane prosthetic liner. According to suspension system of the prosthesis there 3 type liner cushion liner, Locking liner and suction liner. EVOLUTION HEALTHCARE PRIVATE LIMITED provide more advance prosthetic liner which are more durable and give more comfort to the patient. Pylon: A lightweight, durable rod or tube connects the socket to the foot. It provides structural support and flexibility. Knee Joint: The knee joint is a pivotal element in above-knee prosthetics. Different types of knee joints are available, including mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and microprocessor-controlled options. Each type offers specific advantages tailored to the user's needs. Mechanical Knee Joint: Relies on mechanical components for movement. This type is often simpler in design but still effective for many users. Pneumatic Knee Joint: Operates with the use of air pressure, offering a responsive and efficient mechanism for walking. It gives a smooth gait and reduces energy expenditure. It helps the patient change 3/ 4 speed. The most important thing is it requires no maintenance. Hydraulic Knee Joint: Utilizes hydraulic fluid to control the movement, providing a smooth and natural gait. It contributes to stability and adaptability on various terrains. By this joint patient can change any number of speed. And this joint very helpful to descend stair like normal person. Microprocessor Knee Joint: Incorporates advanced technology, using sensors and a microprocessor to analyse walking patterns and adjust the prosthesis in real-time. This innovation enhances adaptability to different walking speeds and terrains. Foot: The prosthetic foot replicates the natural movement and function of a biological foot. Different designs cater to specific activities and preferences. Advancements in Above-Knee Prosthetics: Recent advancements have significantly improved above-knee prosthetics, focusing on increased comfort, natural movement, and overall user satisfaction. These advancements include lightweight materials, improved socket designs, and enhanced control mechanisms in electronic knee joints. Knee Amputation Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation following knee amputation is a critical phase in adapting to an above-knee prosthesis. It involves a comprehensive approach, including physical therapy, gait training, and psychological support, to ensure a successful transition to the use of the prosthetic limb. In conclusion, above-knee prosthetics play a vital role in restoring mobility and enhancing the quality of life for individuals who have undergone knee amputation. With ongoing advancements in technology and rehabilitation strategies, these prosthetic devices continue to evolve, providing users with more comfort, functionality, and a greater sense of independence.
