'joint replacements'

AFO WITH PP JOINT  It give only planter flexion movement  Dorsiflexion is ZERO movement  It prescribe for - Foot drop - Hemiplegic paraplegic -Medio lateral Instability - Where foot slab occur.

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.

A double-action ankle joint ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is a type of orthotic device designed to support and stabilize the ankle and foot. It features two separate joints, one for dorsiflexion (lifting the foot up) and one for plantarflexion (pointing the foot down). This dual-joint mechanism allows for more natural and controlled movement of the ankle, helping to address various conditions affecting gait and stability. Here are some key points about a double-action AFO: Functionality: The double-action joints provide the ability to control both upward and downward motion of the foot. This helps in managing conditions like foot drop, where the foot cannot be lifted properly, or other gait abnormalities. Customization: These AFOs are often custom-made to fit the individual\'s specific anatomy and needs. Adjustments can be made to fine-tune the range of motion and alignment. Materials: They are typically made from lightweight and durable materials such as thermoplastics or carbon fiber, which offer a balance of strength and flexibility. Indications: They are used for conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, peripheral neuropathy, or other neurological or musculoskeletal disorders that affect ankle and foot function. Design: The double-action mechanism allows for controlled movement and can help in improving gait, stability, and overall mobility.

A prosthetic knee joint is an artificial knee replacement that is used to replace a damaged or diseased knee joint. It is designed to mimic the natural movement and function of a real knee joint, allowing individuals to walk and perform other activities with greater ease and comfort. Prosthetic knee joints come in various types, including total knee replacement (TKR) and partial knee replacement (PKR). In a TKR, the entire knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant, while in a PKR, only the damaged or diseased portion of the knee is replaced. The materials used in prosthetic knee joints are typically made of metal, plastic, or ceramic components, and are designed to be durable and long-lasting. The success of the surgery and the longevity of the implant depends on several factors, such as the patient's age, weight, and overall health, as well as the skill of the surgeon performing the procedure. Physical therapy and rehabilitation are often necessary after a prosthetic knee joint surgery to help the patient regain strength and mobility in the affected leg.

AFO WITHOUT JOINT:  Ankle foot orthoses AFOs are external biomechanical devices utilized on lower limbs to stabilize the joints, improve the gait and physical functioning of the affected lower limb. AFO is used as supportive devices and aid for ambulation through different gait stages by providing foot clearance, used to limit or assist ankle and foot ROM like; dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, improve balance, decrease the risk of falling, help with weak musculature of lower legs, and to return to previous activity or facilitate patient mobility.  They are found in different types and different materials and can be modified according to the use and the development of the person if it is used for children. They made from thermoformed plastic material that enables to add modification and adjustments. AFOs are used as night splints to prevent contractures in some cases, patients with stroke, and other neurological conditions such as SCI and children with cerebral palsy.

KAFO with Offset Knee Joint drop lock type  A knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) consists of a plastic AFO or an AFO with metal uprights, a mechanical knee joint, and a plastic thigh cuff or 2 metal thigh bands. KAFO’s can be used in quadriceps paralysis or weakness to maintain knee stability and control flexible genu valgum or varum.  KAFO’s are also used to limit the weight bearing of the thigh, leg, and foot with quadrilateral or ischial containment brim. A KAFO is more difficult to don and doff than an AFO, so it is not recommended for patients who have moderate-to-severe cognitive dysfunction.  The most common causes of muscle weakness include: -Poliomyelitis -Muscular Dystrophy -Multiple Sclerosis -Spinal cord injury

DOUBLE ANKLE JOINT:  It assist both planter flexion and dorsi flexion  Light in weight and easy to operate  Donning and doffing also easy

AFO with Tamarac Ankle joint  The Tamarack Flexure Joint is recognized and used worldwide in the orthotic & prosthetic industry due to its high strength tension load bearing element, which provides smooth articulation and unmatched durability. Tamarack Flexure Joints are lightweight, cost effective, and easy to install in custom and semi-custom thermoplastic and laminated orthopedic bracing applications.
