Slide1

Pediatric

Orthoses

Slide2

Most

orthoses

made for children are motion-controlling or

motion-altering

Accommodative

devices are less frequently required in this age group

.

The relatively light weight of a child means materials that are more forgiving

with

increased flex in a heavier individual such as an adult

will

resist collapse more readily in a

child

Slide3

This allows you to choose from a wide range of material properties, shell thicknesses and filler options while still achieving the desired goal of motion control

The ideal

orthosis

for a child will limit excessive or undesired motions while still allowing normal motions that are so important for ideal

development

Slide4

Key Posting Considerations

Dynamic

compensations for

Varus

deformities of the

rearfoot

and leg require

POSTING

The amount of control a post provides is determined by numerous factors

:

the

number of degrees the post is angled

the stiffness or resistance to compression of the posting material

anterior-posterior length of the post and the width of the post

A longer, wider post made of a stiffer material will offer the most control to the

rearfoot

and leg

There is a reduced need for forefoot posting in children under the age of 6.

Slide5

Be Aware Of Predisposing Risk Factors In The Pediatric Pronated Foot

A child may exhibit a weak foot structure leading to

pronation

, but may also have additional predisposing risk factors that may affect the foot in its overall development and function. These risk factors include, but are not limited to,

ligamentous

laxity, obesity, rotational and angular disorders and ankle

equinus

Shells made of more

rigid materials and/or of increased thickness

are the best choices for treating children who have generalized

ligamentous

laxity

Slide6

Other

modifications such as a deep heel seat, increased

calcaneal

pitch to lock the oblique

midtarsal

joint axis and medial and lateral flanges to reduce transverse plane compensations of the

midfoot

will aid in control of the foot with notable

laxity

Thicker shells and more rigid materials are also necessary in managing the

pronated

foot in the obese

child

Longitudinal

arch fillers will help reduce the increased compression of the arch area of the shell

in

overweight patients. Soft tissue supplementation at the foot/

orthosis

interface may help reduce the hard feel of such devices and increase shock absorption necessary for sports.

Slide7

How To Handle Rotational And Angular Disorders

Rotational

and angular disorders that

produce both

in-toeing and out-toeing, bowing and knock-knees may contribute to a compensatory

pes

valgus

.

Orthoses

for angular disorders benefit from high posting and out-flared or wide posts to stabilize the post plate in the frontal plane.

Slide8

Treatment Tips For Ankle Equinus

Fully

compensated

equinus

foot, often characterized by

pronation

of the

subtalar

joint with consequent unlocking of the oblique

midtarsal

joint axis to allow for

dorsiflexion

and abduction to occur at the

midfoot

, is a major cause of pediatric

pronation

Childhood ankle

equinus

may be developmental or

pathologic:

Developmental

equinus

typically accompanies a rapid bone growth spurt, resulting in relative shortening of the

muscles

Pathologic

equinus

may be congenital or result from other

etiologic causes

Both

exert harmful forces on the foot, either initiating abnormal

pronation

or aggravating

pronation

already present in the child.

Slide9

In addition to stretching the tight musculature, orthotic control of the abnormal

midfoot

is usually

necessary

Adding

heel raises to an orthotic device to

plantarflex

the foot and increasing the amount of available dorsiflexion of the ankle for

midstance

are effective at helping to reduce compensation in this foot

type

In

addition, the presence of

equinus

may limit the degree of control that can be tolerated by

Slide10

Other Helpful Treatment Insights

Patients with a

talocalcaneal

coalition have reduced

subtalar

joint motion and frequent

peroneal

spasm. Employing a rigid

orthosis

from a

pronated

cast with a deep heel seat and a 0-degree

rearfoot

post is often successful at reducing painful

motion

When you treat children with a

calcanonavicular

coalition, keep in mind that reduced

subtalar

joint motion and

peroneal

spasm are less

common

Calcaneal

apophysitis

(

Sever’s

disease) is an inflammation (sometimes considered an

osteochondrosis

) of the secondary growth center of the

calcaneus

. It is frequently accompanied by a tight heel cord and may be aggravated by high loads through the heel.

Slide11

PEDIATRIC OTHORSES

A. LOWER

EXTREMITIES
