To all the parents of children undergoing helmet therapy,
Build a bear has a promotion called “Count Your Candles”! If you bring your little one into Build a Bear during their birthday month, the age they are turning is how much you pay for a Birthday Treat bear!
Ps. We also love seeing the friendly faces of past patients and seeing how big they have gotten!

•
As Ontario begins to reopen we will continue to limit the number of people in our facility & patient appointments. We will continue to prescreen our patients & hold virtual consults when applicable. We will also continue our usual sanitary practises of wearing PPE & scrubs, wiping down surfaces, sanitizing orthoses & deep cleaning between patients. •
We ask that if you are experiencing COVID like symptoms, been in contact with a person who may have COVID or travelled outside of Ontario in the last 14 days, that you reschedule your appointment at a later date. •
We look forward to continuing to provide orthotic services to our community! •

Scott is a master on the #Trautman with all materials! 🛠
In this video he is grinding a bit of foam out of the back of a cranial remodelling helmet.
Helmet treatment focuses on redirecting cranial growth via total contact over the prominent areas & encouraging growth in the areas of flattening. Progressive adjustments are made to the foam at each follow up appointment to preserve the corrections we’ve obtained & encourage more growth to occur in the flattened areas! 👍🏼

Brachycephaly Pt 3 •
Every child goes through growth spurts at different times & therefore responds to therapy differently.
Research shows that the best correction occurs if the helmet therapy is started prior to the growth spurt most children go through around 5/6 months of age. •
If you suspect your child may show signs of cranial asymmetry don’t hesitate to contact us for more information. Custom Orthotics of London provides complementary assessments for all infants at any age! We want to help you make the right decisions on time for your loved ones!
Call to book your complementary assessment today! •
(COVID Disclaimer: we are currently operating at a reduced patient load. We are conducting as much of the initial assessment over the phone. We thank you In advance for your understanding and cooperation during this pandemic) •

Brachycephaly Pt. 2: •
This cranial condition can be caused by:
1. Excessive supine positioning on firm surfaces
2. Premature Birth & extended stays in the NICU
3. Multiple births and assisted delivery techniques (forceps)
4. Muscular conditions such as torticollis & if the infant prefers to look & lay in 1 direction. •
If the cranial asymmetry is caught early (prior 5 months of age), caregivers should:
1. Increase tummy time
2. Limit supine positioning
3. Limit the time spent in an infant carrier or in a device where there is posture pressure on the infants head.
4. Switch toys around the crib/play area to encourage the infant to look in different directions
•
Mild head asymmetries can improve & self correct. However some heads do not self correct & therefore require additional treatment. •
The window for treatment is narrow, once the cranial sutures begin to fuse, obtaining circumferential symmetrical growth is limited. •
If left untreated, the child:
1. May have difficulties fitting into hats hockey/ bike helmets
2. Suffer from jaw malalignment
3. Have an asymmetrical head in adulthood

Brachycephaly Pt. 1 •
Brachycephaly is an infant head condition characterized by asymmetrical shape.
•
It can develop before birth, during birth or during the months after birth. An infants head is supple & malleable during the first few months of life to allow for growth & development. However, repetitive or prolonged external pressure on the skull can cause asymmetrical growth.
•
Some physical signs to look for include:
1. Wide head (increased width to length ratio)
2. Posterior Flattening
3. Increased Posterior height
4. Frontal Bulging
5. Bilateral bulging above the ears
6. Cupping of the ears
•

Here are a couple photos of the steps it takes to metal bend the side bars of a KAFO (Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis)! Step 1 - the device is prepped for metal bending of the lateral side bars!
Step 2 - the side bars have been contoured to the shape of the model! (Stay tuned: we will show ya a time lapse of how we metal bending!) Step 3 - a butterfly print KAFO with beautifully contoured side bars! 🦋

Disclaimer: there are many steps taken both before & after photo 1... this is just the metal bending! 😜

Fabrication Friday! 🛠
⁠⠀
Here are some of the steps our technicians take to fabricate a custom shoe lift! 👞
Shoe lifts are recommended for individuals with a leg length discrepancy (LLD). LLD can be caused by: hip or knee replacements, lower limb injury, bone disease, neuromuscular issues or congenital problems. Although discrepancies of 2cm or less are very common, they can also be greater than 6cm. A person must compensate for the height difference which leads to an inefficient gait pattern & postural issues. Overtime these compensations have damaging impact to the joints & overall posture leading to pain in the back, hips, knees & ankles.
If you have any questions about shoe modifications or Leg Length Discrepancies feel free to contact our office!

As promised here are some of the steps taken to make #Custom #AFOs! 🦵🏼 Step 1: Casting. A Fiberglass (or plaster) cast is taken of the limb!

Step 2: The casts are filled with plaster & left solidify to create a positive model of the limb (a replica)

Step 3: This is the step where the art begins! The orthotist gets a little messy modifying & customizing the model to optimize the fit!

Step 4: The positive models are read for thermoforming!
Step 5: Special plastic is heated & vacuum formed over the model to ensure fit!

Perfection takes time & so does custom making AFOs! Stay tuned for #FabricationFridays for the next few steps!
