orthosis/orthotic device


Explanation:
Background: Orthotic devices are required for walking in many individuals with myelomeningocele. Evidence concerning orthosis use is sparse, partly because of heterogeneity among groups and different definitions of the neurological level
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37725508/#:~:text=Background...

Typically in spina bifida, orthotic intervention would be either ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) or knee ankle foot orthoses (KAFOs). Initially, AFOs are used in young children to prevent contractures and provide stability to help children learn to stand.

complex orthosis (modular) device / HKAFO


Explanation:
Complex orthoses are devices designed to assist multiple joints. These orthoses are not as common as ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs). They are designed for patients with extensive weakness in the lower limbs. - https://www.physio-pedia.com/Introduction_to_Complex_Orthose...

What is HKAFO for spina bifida?
An ankle-foot brace (ankle-foot orthosis [or-THO-sis] or AFO) may help support the leg and allow your child to walk. If the spina bifida is higher up the spine, the brace may cover more of the leg (called hip-knee-ankle-foot or HKAFO). - https://intermountainhealthcare.org/ckr-ext/Dcmnt?ncid=52067...

Hip-knee-ankle-foot orthosis (HKAFO): This
brace come with a pelvic band to support the hips,
or with both a pelvic band and a chest strap if more
support is needed. Otherwise, it is identical to the
KAFO. It is also called a “long-leg brace.”

Reference: Przepuklina oponowo-rdzeniowa (łac. myelomeningocele)

Reference information:
Myelomeningocele is a type of spina bifida.

Spina bifida happens when a baby's backbone (spine) does not form normally during pregnancy. The baby is born with a gap in the bones of the spine. -https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/myelomeningocele.html

Myelomeningocele is a birth defect in which the backbone and spinal canal do not close fully before birth.

--

Orthotics, or braces, for spina bifida patients are designed to help stabilize unstable or weak joints, to decrease the chance of formation of contractures, and to assist in a child’s posture and general stability of the lower extremities. - https://www.columbiaortho.org/patient-care/specialties/pedia...
