A spinal injury, depending on the extent, can have adverse effects on the physical, emotional mental and social well-being of the patient. Orthoses, specially designed for the purpose, used for a shorter time period, has proved to be largely beneficial. How? Why are they important? Read on to find out.
Depending on the site, level and severity of the injury, orthotic devices are available in varying designs and types:
- Hip-knee-ankle-foot orthoses
- Head and neck braces
- Upper limb braces
- Spine orthoses (upper back, entire trunk, bottom half of the trunk)
These can be mechanical, powered or hybrid, based on the requirement of the patient.
Why use orthosis for spinal injury?
Proper selection, use, and application of the orthosis for spinal injury, prescribed by an experienced physician,
- reduces weight and pain at the joints
- supports a weakened muscle and affected body parts to gain functional rehabilitation
- corrects misalignments of a deformed body part
- protects the body part from further injury
- maintains the stability of a fractured spine to promote healing at the injury site
- restricts spinal column movements to prevent further damage and promote healing
- resists spasticity and mildly stretches the tight muscles
- promotes proper position and posture
- also protects the spine in cases of instability arising out of degenerative changes due to old age
