“…Joint immobilization in a functional position is necessary for sprains to promote both healing and functional use. [ 57 ] An injury to the syndesmosis between the tibia and fibula occurs in high ankle sprains. Patients with this type of injury feel more pain above the ankle joint.…”

Ankle‐foot orthoses (AFOs) assist patients with gait impairment by correcting ankle and foot deformities, restoring mobility, reducing pain, and providing protection and immobilization. AFOs can beneficially manage various types of gait pathologies, including foot drop, crouch gait, equinus gait, and stiff knee gait. AFOs are produced in prefabricated or custom‐made forms in various designs. The selection criteria for the fabrication of an AFO are the duration of usage, the amount of applied force, the degree of axial loading, the patient’s skin condition, and the cost. The accessibility of diverse materials in the past century has greatly advanced orthoses. The ideal orthotic materials must be light, stiff, and strong, and are made of plastics, metals, polymer‐based composites, leather, or a hybrid of different materials. Deeper understanding of the materials employed in the fabrication of AFOs will lead to more advanced and efficient orthoses, which can improve patients’ ability to ambulate in the real world. The present review provides insight into the various materials utilized for the fabrication of AFOs and describes the benefits and challenges associated with these materials. An attempt has also been made to highlight typical gait pathologies and design concepts in response to these.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

“…Las opciones de diseño como materiales y componentes (ej. dorsal, palmar, de perfil bajo, de perfil alto) pueden agregarse al final del nombre técnico en situaciones en las que esta información sea relevante (Fess et al, 2004;B. M. Kelly et al, 2021).…”

“…La medición de la satisfacción en ellos puede ser difícil porque la satisfacción de los pacientes se deriva de sus experiencias tanto con los servicios como con los dispositivos proporcionados (Peaco et al, 2011). Kelly et al (2021) resaltan que tanto la apariencia como la comodidad son factores importantes en la adherencia a las órtesis de miembros superiores. Para garantizar la adherencia del paciente, la órtesis tiene que ser lo más estéticamente aceptable posible.…”

La segunda fase, Diseño Participativo, incluyó a 9 personas voluntarias que evaluaron las propuestas de órtesis y brindaron recomendaciones de diseño. En la tercera fase, Modelado y Prototipado, se produjeron una serie de iteraciones de diseño, dando lugar a un nuevo desarrollo de órtesis. En la cuarta fase, Validación, se comprobó la funcionalidad y usabilidad de la órtesis con 11 sujetos sanos a través de un estudio con electromiografía de superficie. Con ello se demostró que la inclusión de un mecanismo deformable en el diseño del muelle articular permite una óptima asistencia motora en condiciones normales. Por último, en la fase de Desarrollo Final, se fabricó un prototipo funcional de órtesis radial teniendo en cuenta las oportunidades de mejora identificadas.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Sağlık Değerlendirme Anketi'nin (SDA) temel öz bakım alarından olan giyinme ve kendi kendine çeki düzen verme, yemek yeme ve hijyen aktivitelerindeki bozulmalar belirlendi ve bu bozulmalarla hastalık aktivitesi ve deformite arasındaki ilişkiler araştırıldı. Hastalar ve yöntemler:Çalışmaya romatoid artritli toplam 152 hasta (113 kadın, 39 erkek; ort. yaş 52.3±14.1 yıl; dağılım 24-80 yıl) alındı. Hastalık aktivitesi; American College of Rheumatology (ACR) hassas ve şiş eklem sayısı, görsel analog ölçeği-ağrı (GAÖ-ağrı), hasta ve hekimin global değerlendirmesi, 28 eklemin Hastalık Aktivite Skoru (DAS28), eritrosit sedimantasyon hızı (ESH) ve C-reaktif protein (CRP) ile ölçüldü. Fonksiyonel durum SDA ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Ortalama DAS28 skoru 4.5±1.4 idi. Ortalama ACR hassas ve şiş eklem sayısı sırasıyla 11.1±1.9 ve 0.7±0.2 idi. Hasta ve hekimin global değerlendirme skorları sırasıyla 5.2±2.5 ve 4.7±2.4 idi. Tüm SDA özbakım alanlarındaki fonksiyonel kısıtlamalarla DAS28 skoru, ACR hassas eklem sayısı, GAÖ-ağrı, hasta ve hekim global değerlendirmesi, ESH ve eklem deformitesi arasında anlamlı pozitif ilişkiler saptandı (p<0.01). Et kesme ve tuvalete oturma ve kalkma en çok etkilenen özbakım aktiviteleri idi.
