What is Cranial Remolding?
Biodesign Prosthetic and Orthotics has the opportunity to work with lots of little ones with head shape asymmetry, treating plagiocephaly and brachycephaly with cranial remolding orthoses.
Cranial remolding orthoses are used for brachycephaly and plagiocephaly, which are the two most common head shape asymmetries. They are characterized by a persistent flat spot on the back or side of the head of an infant.
In order to normalize the flattening, an orthotist will custom fabricate a cranial remodelling orthosis or helmet for the infant. The infant will wear the helmet until the measured cranial discrepancy is within normal limits.
The cranial remodelling orthosis treatment program focuses on redirecting cranial growth toward greater symmetry. This is accomplished by maintaining contact over the prominent areas of the head, and allowing room for growth in the areas with flattening.
What are Lower Limb Orthoses?
Lower limb orthoses (or braces) are designed based on your individual needs, a thorough assessment will provide the necessary information to design your orthoses.
Most orthoses are custom made from a modified cast of your limb. Orthoses help to stabilize and position your limb for ambulation, pain reduction and to prevent deformity.
Drop foot now can be treated with the use of functional neuromuscular stimulation, allowing for a decrease in compensatory movements while allowing for safe ambulation. The WalkAide® is a medical device programmed for your individual needs, it allows the foot to be lifted without the use of a brace or foot wear.
You can contact Biodesign for more information, or to schedule an assessment.
