, -used to reduce weight bearing on foot or distal tibia (i.e. arthritic ankle, foot ulcer,
Charcot foot, long term nonunion fracture)
-contraindications: knee joint pathology, pretibial skin sensitivity, fluctuating edema,
vascular insufficiencies
-band travels distal
-thigh pressure: anterior distal and posterior proximal
-calf pressure: anterior proximal
-1 cm above top of trochanter
-trochanter extension may be added to one side

What is muscular dystrophy?
Give this one a try later!
a degenerative disease affecting a hereditary condition causing muscle
muscle coordination and balance enlargement and strengthening
a hereditary condition marked
a condition marked by muscle
by progressive weakening and
stiffness and rigidity
wasting of the muscles.

What are the anterior inferior trimlines of a boston style scoliosis
brace?
Give this one a try later!
-as distal as the patient can tolerate
-mid point should extend over the pubis when the patient is standing
-cut away from the thighs to allow 90 degrees of flexion
-20 mm distal to fib neck
-anterior extends to tib tubercle (peds would contain)
-anterior to malleoli
-bisect met heads
-full toe plate
-20 mm distal to fib neck
-60% gastroc coverage
-posterior to malleoli
-bisect met heads
-full toe plate
-20 mm distal of fib neck
-60% gastroc coverage
-anterior to malleoli
, -ankle joint lined on the anatomical joint (distal tip of the medial malleoli)

What is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
Give this one a try later!
-contralateral hemiparesis/hemiplegia (UE > LE)
-contralateral sensory loss to lower phase
-possible dysarthria or dysphagia
-right hemisphere = visual spatial or somatic perceptual impairment
-left hemisphere = communication impairment (aphasia)
-protrusion is fully into the spinal column
-lower motor neuron dysfunction (flaccid paralysis) with complete sensory loss
below lesion
A genetic disease of the peripheral nervous system characterized by peroneal
muscular atrophy that affects motor and sensory nerves. Initially affects
muscles in lower leg and foot, but eventually progresses to muscles of hands
and forearm.
An autoimmune disease in which the peripheral nerves become inflammed. Results
in numbness and paralysis in the legs, upper body, and face. Level of independence
