SMO is supramalleolar orthosis device revolutionized orthotic management for children with hypotonia. Through the use of extremely thin, flexible thermoplastic, SMO compresses the soft tissues of the foot with stabilizing children while still allowing for natural development SMO help to stabilize the foot and relieve stress on ankles, knees and hips so your child can grow and develop as a happy and healthy kid. INDICATIONS • Pronation • Hypotonia • Triplanar instability in weight bearing • Inability to stand independently • Mild toe-walking • Developmental delay • Delay in acquiring gross motor skills • Poor coordination or balance CONTRAINDICATIONS • High muscle tone • Spasticity • Severe toe-walking • Tight heel cords • Tight peroneal Trimlines can be decide as per assessment of the deformity and clinician experience and expertises such as • for toe walking • with a heel lift • for clubfoot • for metatarsus adductus (reverse trim lines

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures of the Ankle. PROMs can be quantitative, measuring with numeric values; or qualitative, assessing more subjective results. PROMs can be divided according to the area of evaluation: health status, a specific disease or specifically each joint, organ, or region. This paper consolidates the common PROMS utilised for assessing various pathologies, conditions and/or functional status of the ankle. Including; ▪ Ankle osteoarthritis ▪ Ankle fractures ▪ Ankle sprains ▪ Achilles tendon injuries ▪ Ligament injuries (e.g., anterior talofibular ligament) ▪ Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction ▪ Ankle instability ▪ Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles tendonitis) ▪ Ankle impingement syndrome ▪ Structural changes/deformities Article Link: https://lnkd.in/exWC7rQr Join the free monthly Research Round-Up: https://lnkd.in/gexV-yz9 These PROMS, plus a range of others are part of the clinical resources included in Exercise Therapies in Podiatric Practice by The Progressive Podiatry Project. Version 3.0 is currently under development, with a tonne of new, clinically-relevant content and literature updates on their way. From now, registration for version 2.0 will include a FREE upgrade to version 3.0 when it launches (saving $$ hundred $$).

The effective treatment methods for Ankle instability Ankle sprains are the common injuries in sports and aktif individuals, functional ankle instability and repetitive ankle injuries can cause partial or complete  tearing/disruption of the ankle ligaments, also have negative effects on proprioception and neuromuscular control because is effects on neurological receptors, such as the Golgi tendon organ, muscle spindle and receptors around joint capsul and ligaments. In ankle sprains The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneal fibular ligament (CFL), posterior talofibular(PTFL) ligaments is negative effected. The treatment of Functional or chronic ankle instability the classic rehabilitaion programs are focused on muscle strengthing but the last research and studies show ROM has priority in rehabilitation regimes because it has direct effect on proprioception. we can combine ROM exercises with soft tissue mobilization such as graston technique to have highest results on ROM. The treatment program should have pliometric and balance training programs because those excercises have directly effects on proprioception, balanc and muscle strengthening. The last studies show the combination of these treatment methods give the highest results.

While cavities are a common source of tooth decay in children, tooth loss occurs in many adults as well, most commonly in the form of resorption. When prolonged damage occurs to a tooth, the subsequent swelling can wear away bone or tissue. When this happens, the body absorbs the material, and part of the tooth is lost. Fortunately, an endodontist can help. Here's what you need to know.

🅓🅞🅒🅣🅞🅡❜🅢 🅥🅘🅢🅣 🅓🅐🅘🅛🅨 11/12 Note, Have you heard of sitz bath? Sitz bath helps to get rid of pain and itching sort of discomforts in the perineal region and speed up the healing process. The perineum means the area between the anus and the external genitals. For example, in conditions like haemorrhoids, sitz bath can be used to ease discomfort, after perineal surgeries or even after childbirth this helps to speed up recovery. In the sitz bath, the perineum is soaked in lukewarm water for about 15 minutes. This relaxes the anal sphincter and increases the blood supply to the perineum. Therefore, this helps to alleviate different medical conditions. You can use a sitz bath kit as well as a bathtub for this. 06/05/24.

One of the best ways to support yourself... ...is to support yourself. Like, actually hold yourself up. And support your own body weight. Why? ✔ flexible wrists ✔ engaged core ✔ strong grip & arms ✔ stabilized shoulder sling Basically, you can do more stuff with less chance of injury for longer. Try one of these FRONT supports: (easiest to hardest) → Lay on your stomach and push your upper body off the ground. → Sit in your chair and use your arms to hover your hips. → Hold a plank (beginning of a push up position). → Hold yourself up on a bar. Please don't lose your ability to do these things. They will come in extremely handy if you ever have a knee, hip, or foot injury/surgery (think crutches). Or if you want to pull yourself out of a pool gracefully. You have my support. Go support yourself. ----------------- (this is not a prescription, I am not a doctor, listen to your own body, consult your physician if you have any concerns before trying something new) ✔️

### The Misconception of Using a Ball for Hand Rehabilitation ⚠ Many of us, when encountered with a patient having a hand issue, immediately think of using a ball and recommend the patient to use it at home. However, this could be a significant mistake! ⚠ Today, let's discuss a case where using a ball is not the right approach: **Ulnar Nerve Injury**, which leads to what is known as **Claw Hand Deformity**. ### What is Claw Hand Deformity? It is characterized by hyperextension of the MCP joints and flexion of the PIP joints. This condition results from the extrinsic muscle activity (FDP and Extensor Digitorum) lacking control of intrinsic muscle activity (lumbricals). ### The Role of Lumbricals - **MCP Flexion** - **IP Extension** - They permit interaction between the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and the extensor mechanism. ### Understanding the Muscles Involved - **Flexor Digitorum Profundus (FDP)** - This is the muscle you strengthen when you use the ball, which inadvertently encourages its dominant role. - Functions: MCP Flexion, DIP Flexion - **Extensor Mechanism** - This is a connective tissue structure that involves most of the muscles responsible for extension in the hand. - Composed of two parts: - **Central Tendon**: Connects to the middle phalanx - **2 Lateral Tendons**: Connect to the distal phalanx - Functions: MCP Extension, IP Extension ### What Happens in the Absence of Lumbrical Activity? - **Decrease in passive tension of the extensor mechanism** - **Increase in passive tension of the flexor digitorum profundus** This imbalance leads to Claw Hand Deformity because the fingers collapse in a zigzag pattern: - **MCP Extension**: Due to the central tendon of the extensor mechanism - **IP Flexion**: Due to the flexor digitorum - **Collapse of the 2 lateral tendons of the extensor mechanism** ### Conclusion Hence, we should focus on working on the **lumbricals** rather than the **FDP**. Strengthening the lumbricals is crucial to prevent and correct the claw hand deformity. --- #HandRehabilitation #PhysicalTherapy #UlnarNerveInjury #ClawHandDeformity #OccupationalTherapy #HandTherapy #IntrinsicMuscles #Lumbricals #PatientCare
