This , we’re recognizing the physical therapists and teams who observe how patients move, respond to treatment, and use their orthoses in practice. Those observations give the care team valuable information for refining treatment decisions and supporting better patient outcomes. 🤝

When therapists, orthotists, and physicians bring their observations together, each has a clearer picture of what the patient needs.

See how those perspectives contribute to orthotic care on our blog: https://hubs.ly/Q04zDYgL0

October’s World Cerebral Palsy Day brings attention to the different experiences, priorities, and support needs of people with cerebral palsy. That individuality matters in clinical care, too.

When a medical provider considers an orthosis for a patient with cerebral palsy, the patient’s movement, muscle tone, balance, and goals deserve individual assessment.

Multiple sclerosis can affect foot clearance, knee stability, and leg swing in different ways. ⤵️

Foot drop may call for ankle-foot support. Knee instability may require a closer look at the level of control needed. Hip-flexor weakness makes the full gait pattern part of the assessment.

Children are always growing, and orthotic fit can change before their next major treatment milestone. 🌱

At follow-up, look at whether the brace still matches the child’s current limb dimensions, alignment, range of motion, mobility, skin tolerance, comfort, and treatment goals. A device that still applies may not automatically be supporting the plan of care as well as it should.

Restricted motion can change how a patient stands, walks, reaches, or manages daily activities. That is why contracture management starts with the specific range of motion and function in front of you.

For plantar-flexion contractures, clinicians may look to AFO support when positioning and function need to be addressed. For elbow contractures, the decision may shift toward elbow orthotic options based on range of motion, wear tolerance, and treatment goals.

Patients who need heel protection may also need ankle-foot positioning as they move through care and rehabilitation. 🦶

The PRAFO® Orthosis combines positive heel suspension with measurable dorsi/plantar flexion adjustment, liner options, and a walking base for ambulatory patients when clinically appropriate, giving care teams a way to address pressure relief and positioning within the same plan.

Foot drop can affect swing-phase clearance, initial contact, and stance stability—but the right AFO conversation starts with the specific gait problem in front of you. 👣

Consider the patient’s mobility level, spasticity or contracture, skin integrity, and whether support is needed during ambulation, recumbent positioning, or both.

When knee positioning, contracture, post-operative range-of-motion needs, or selected stabilization concerns are part of the clinical picture, the KMO™ Knee Orthosis offers a focused approach built around static progressive positioning. 🦵

With a single posterior joint and positioning that can be set before fitting or while the orthosis is on the patient’s lower extremity, the KMO™ helps support more precise knee-management decisions. Adult and pediatric models are available, and the KMO™ is PDAC Approved under L-1831.

September is Pain Awareness Month, and this year’s campaign is —bringing together all ages, countless diagnoses, and millions of stories. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

In orthotic care, that message matters because pain can affect function in many different ways. It may change how a patient walks, stands, reaches, transfers, or participates in therapy. Orthotic planning works best when those differences are understood and the support is matched to what the patient is experiencing.

When care begins with listening and careful assessment, orthotic support can become a more useful part of the plan.

September is Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month. 🎗️

Rheumatoid arthritis can become part of a larger orthotic conversation when it affects range of motion, alignment, and day-to-day function. In lower-extremity care, that may influence how a clinician thinks about standing, walking, comfort, and ankle-foot support. In upper-extremity care, it can also be relevant when elbow motion becomes limited.
