Have you checked out September’s article in the @momandcaregivermagazine where we talk about Gait abnormalities in Early Development!
🚶🏼‍♀️
Children learning to walk are quite the sight to see! But as they grow and develop, their gait pattern slowly starts to resemble an adults (this takes time!). Check out this article to learn a bit about the common abnormalities seen in developing children.
👧🏼🧒🏻
If you are concerned with how your child is learning to walk or develop, speak to your paediatrician. Can’t get in to see them? Reach out to our office and we will be happy to assess your child. Our orthotists are experienced specialists in walking and motor development and can help guide you in the direction you need to go.

Ps: We missed posting last months so swipe a couple photos over to see last months edition of the August @momandcaregivermagazine!

Last week we checked back in with this incredible woman to see how her RGO is fitting and how the workout programs have been going!
💪🏼
Using an RGO is very taxing and labour intensive. The individual must be motivated to use the device and have a plan to stay active.
@rolling_thunder2019 is a highly motivated individual and defies the norm by using her RGO on a daily basis! Jessica uses her RGO at the gym to workout and go for walks around the facility!
-
Swipe to see Jennica walking at her 1 month in her RGO!
👏🏼
We are so happy to see the progress and walking gains!

Reciprocating Gait Orthosis - An RGO is a full bod

Reciprocating Gait Orthosis
-
An RGO is a full body orthosis that enables an individual with lower body weakness or paralysis to stand upright unassisted and walk with an external walking aid like forearm crutches or a walker. The device is a specialized HKAFO as it crosses all lower extremity joints but features a specialized reciprocating mechanism attached to the custom trunk section. The KAFO section immobilizes the knees and ankle, while the hip & reciprocating mechanism allows for hip motion and pelvic rotation that imitates functional walking!
-
This orthosis is a tool for people with lower extremity paralysis due to spinal cord injury or other neurological diseases, including spina bifida. This device is often used in therapy settings or household ambulation for training and upright weight bearing. It is a highly specialized device that requires proper gait training and therefore physiotherapy is advised.

🚶🏼‍♀️
Walking may seem as simple as putting one foot in front of the other but in reality it is a complex pattern of movements that our bodies make in order for us to get around. With that in mind, we are splitting this topic up over a few months!
▫️ July: The Gait Cycle
▫️ August: Childhood Motor Development & Learning to Walk
▫️ September: Gait Abnormalities in Children and when to talk to your doctor!

These sweet looking kicks are the Nike Flyease. A shoe designed for both kids & adults of all abilities!
-⁠⠀
In 2015, 16-year-old Matthew Walzer wrote a letter to the company asking Nike to consider developing a shoe design for people who may have trouble tying their laces.⁠⠀
-⁠⠀
Nike FlyEase were created to allow easy hands-free entry! The shoes feature a zipper &/or a strap, making it easier to pull on and off the shoe. ⁠Some of the styles also accommodate orthotic bracing!

Check out this awesome custom Elbow Wrist Hand orthosis for contracture management! This is a static progressive orthosis with ratchet joints that allows the user to set the baseline joint range & incrementally modify the range throughout their rehabilitation journey!
💪🏼
In short, a contracture occurs when the muscles that cross a joint shorten & stiffen, resulting in a loss of range of motion. This is not exclusive to 1 joint or 1 specific disease and disorder!
-
Orthotic intervention is a great tool to accompany rehab treatment plans, to maintain joint range of motion & prevent further losses in range!

Today is the day that the Tiny Helmets for Tiny Heads fundraiser begins!
🗓
This GoFundMe campaign was generously created by the parents of one current cranial correction crew-mates to help families in financial need pay for the treatment. Unfortunately helmet therapy is not an OHIP covered benefit and many families do not have additional benefits that cover the cost of the treatment. As a result, many babies go without helmet therapy because they cannot afford them.
⛑
The campaign will run for the entire month of May and can be found by searching “Tiny Helmets for Tiny Heads” on GoFundMe.
🎥
This amazing family has a podcast called the @winey_parents! Where they help parents navigate their way through life -preteens, newborns, adoption, staying healthy, staying sane, & all the in-betweens! Earlier this month, they interviewed Dawn to learn more about cranial asymmetries and cranial remodelling helmet therapy! Check out their podcast on @spotify or @applemusic or where-ever you listen to your podcasts!
♥️
We feel this is an awesome cause and would love it if you could share the campaign with your friends, family and social media!

An Arizona Style Leather Gauntlet⁠⠀
-⁠⠀
This style of orthosis is often prescribed to stabilize the ankle, talocalcaneal, midtarsal and subtalar joints. These are all joints found in the foot and ankle that are often misused and experience pain and discomfort. ⁠⠀
🦵🏻⁠⠀
These AFOs are often prescribed for individuals with:⁠⠀
- Tibialis tendonitis (posterior or anterior)⁠⠀
- Talocalcaneal varus or valgus⁠⠀
- PTTD (Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction)⁠⠀
- Severe pronation or pes planus⁠⠀
- Ankle arthritis or Degenerative Joint Disease⁠⠀
- Ankle, subtalar or midtarsal trauma ⁠⠀
- Chronic Achilles tendonitis⁠⠀
🦶🏻⁠⠀
An Arizona style AFO is a custom device made from a plaster impression of the patients foot (seen in the top left photo. It is fabricated out of (1) polypropylene plastic that reinforces and immobilizes the foot and ankle & (2) is lined with a soft, moldable leather and padding for comfort.⁠⠀

CP is a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move & maintain balance & posture.
-
CP is caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain that affects a person’s ability to control their muscles. Symptoms vary from person to person and depend on the type of CP & the area of the brain affected.
-
There is no cure for CP, however, early interventions and treatments can reduce symptoms and disabilities while also improving mobility.

Did you know this past Saturday was National Plagiocephaly Awareness Day!
-
Plagiocephaly is a very common and very treatable head shape condition. It develops when an infants soft skull becomes flattened in at least 1 area, due to repeated pressures on that one part of the head.
⛑
Cranial Remodelling Orthoses passively “reshape” the head by holding the high spots (prominent/budging areas) and leaving room for growth over the flattened regions! The length a child needs to wear a helmet is dependent on the age they start, the severity, when the child grows and compliance.
-
When it comes to cranial remodelling, compliance is key! If the helmet is worn & the child grows, growth should occur in the flattened region! However if it isn’t worn, growth may not occur in the flattened areas, possibly worsening the asymmetry!

TLSO⠀
•⠀
Thoracolumbosacral Orthosis ... isn’t that a mouth full! (It’a just a fancy word for a “back brace”)⠀
•⠀
A TLSO may be a two-piece clamshell design (like the top left) or a single piece with an opening on the front or back. It extends from just below the collar bones down to the pelvis. The two main goals of this orthosis are to either immobilize the spinal column to promote healing or impose corrective forces on the spine to correct a deformity. ⠀
•⠀
The device may be prescribed to:⠀
- manage a spinal deformity such a Idiopathic Scoliosis or neuromuscular Scoliosis or Kyphosis. ⠀
- To provide postural support for neuromuscular conditions. ⠀
- To immobilize the spine and promote healing post operatively or after an injury. ⠀
•⠀
The prescription and patient presentation dictates the style and fabrication process of a TLSO. For example if the device is to correct a spinal deformity, the device is fabricated with specific pads and “voids” to push the vertebra into the desired direction.⠀

Stance Control KAFO!
-
Generally speaking, a SC KAFO allows a patient to flex their knee during the swing phase of gait while still providing similar stance phase stability of a traditional locking KAFO. Locking KAFOs lock in full extension to provide lower limb stability and reduce fall risk. Unfortunately this stability comes at a cost and that is the inability to flex the knee joint during the swing phase of walking. This results in the patient having to expend more energy to compensate to clear the limb during swing phase. These compensatory mechanisms require tremendous amounts of energy and over time, damage other parts of the body.
-
Stance Control KAFOs are not for every patient however it is certainly an option that you can discuss with your clinician and see if you are a candidate!

Ratchet Style KAFO - The Ratchet style knee joint

Ratchet Style KAFO
-
The Ratchet style knee joint is a multi-position knee joint designed with the flexion contracture patient in mind.
🦵🏼
It is designed to promote full knee extension by providing knee stability to the user through an incremental range of knee flexion.
🦵🏼
- Ten locking positions throughout knee flexion
- Helps to increase the knee range of motion
- Provides stability for standing before reaching full extension
- Designed for knee flexion contracture management
- Unlocks to enable sitting and reclining
- Effectively blocks flexion while allowing free extension!

So, your kid walks on their tippy toes! 🦵🏼

So, your kid walks on their tippy toes!
🦵🏼
Well, people who walk on their toes expend 53% more energy than when walked with a proper heel-to-toe gait pattern. Additionally, this can be an indicator of an underlying health condition or can even lead to gait imbalances and instabilities.
🦵🏼
But don’t worry! The Custom Orthotics Team is here to help answer any and all questions.

This is an ESR style of AFO! Similar to most custom AFOs in that it supports and stabilizes the ankle and knee during midstance & facilitates with clearing the foot during the swing phase of gate.

The “Energy Storage and Return” part of the name comes from their “spring-like” characteristics: they conserve muscle energy and then return that energy to allow for a more “spring-like step” when the plastic strut bends

A dial lock is an adjustable knee joint that allows the clinician to change the flexion position at which the knee joint locks. ⁠This is a useful feature for individuals who have a knee flexion contracture and cannot get to full knee extension (straighten their leg completely). ⠀
🦵🏼⠀
Additionally, if the individual requires the added stability of a locking mechanism, a drop lock can be added to the joint to increase knee stability and prevent the knee from buckling.⠀

A posterior offset knee joint is used to "move" the knee joint's axis of rotation more posterior. This increases the stability of the knee when extended. ⁠⠀
-
Someone who’s knee hyperextends while they walk would benefit from this style of knee joint! When you hyperextend, you stress the anterior (front) part of your knee. This stress and strain adds up causing wear and tear on the knee joint. If left in managed, pain, arthritis and deformity may develop.
