Striving for independence and mobility is a shared goal for individuals living with neurological challenges. Today, there’s groundbreaking news for those seeking innovative solutions. Deist & Associates proudly announces a new chapter in neuro-orthotic care – we’ve officially completed advanced training in the manufacturing of customised carbon-laminated KAFOs and AFOs, using the Fior & Gentz neuro orthotic joint systems in partnership with Össur.
But what does this mean for patients? And how can these advancements transform lives?
Read on to learn more about neuro-orthotics, their applications, and why Deist & Associates is now uniquely positioned to offer world-class solutions.
What Are Neuro-Orthotics?
Neuro-orthotics combine advanced engineering and clinical expertise to create functional orthoses (external devices) designed to help individuals with neurological conditions regain mobility, stability, and an improved quality of life. These orthoses, for example, Ankle-Foot Orthoses (AFOs) and Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses (KAFOs), are customised assistive devices tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
The Fior & Gentz neuro orthotic systems represent cutting-edge technology in this field, featuring advanced components like system joints, stance control, dynamic responses, and microprocessor functionality. These features enable smoother, safer, and more natural movement. Lightweight carbon-laminated frames ensure that comfort is never sacrificed in the pursuit of functionality.
Neuro-orthotics stand as a beacon of hope, addressing challenges that arise from impairments in lower limb function caused by neurological conditions like muscle weakness or paralysis.
Who Can Benefit from Neuro-Orthotics?
These innovative devices are designed for individuals living with a wide range of neurological conditions, including but not limited to:
- Stroke survivors: Regain stability and confidence with orthoses that provide enhanced gait control.
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Address muscle fatigue and weakness with lightweight, high-performance solutions tailored to dynamic needs.
- Cerebral Palsy: Improve mobility and functionality with smart orthotics designed for growing bodies.
- Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: Ensure proper gait and posture alignment with custom-built orthoses that promote independence.
- Paraplegia: Improve standing or mobility assistance with precise, targeted support.
- Other neurological conditions: Conditions that affect lower limb function can greatly benefit from the adaptable solutions neuro-orthotics offer.
