'thigh muscles'

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.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that develops in a vein deep in the body. The clot may partially or completely block blood flow through the vein. Most DVTs occur in the lower leg, thigh or pelvis, although they also can occur in other parts of the body including the arm, brain, intestines, liver or kidney. DVT itself is not lifethreatening. But, the danger of DVT is that the blood clot has the potential to break free and travel through the bloodstream, where it can become lodged in the blood vessels of the lung. This is a condition known as a pulmonary embolism. This can be life threatening, so prompt diagnosis and treatment is critical • You are at risk for DVT if you: • Have had recent surgery (generally within 3 months) • Have been on prolonged bed rest or hospitalization • Have heart failure • Have a blood clotting disorder

If you choose to receive an osseointegrated prosthetic nose, your surgeon will place several titanium implant posts into the bone around the nose. The silicone nose will then snap securely onto these implants. Both types of prostheses are removable. You should take off your prosthetic nose before you sleep or participate in athletic activities, and you should also remove it once a day to thoroughly clean the nose and underlying tissue. Typically, these prostheses last between one and three years, depending on maintenance, environment, activity level, and other factors. Nose Prosthetic manufacturer in Pune, Surat, Kolkata, India
