![]() Abstract: Spastic flat foot. It is developed from postural flat foot in the middle phase of flat foot. The main manifestation is the peroneal muscle spasm, foot valgus/abduction and dorsiflexion, fallen foot arch. The pain will increase,walking and standing can not be sustained for a long time,pain can not be completely alleviated after the break. Medi-Rehatek will introduce the flat foot classification. Flat foot, is also known as pes planus, refers to the normal longitudinal arch of foot is lost. According to patient’s feeling, it can be divided into three categories, postural flat foot, spastic flat foot and ankylosing flat foot. ![]() 1.Postural flat foot At the initial stage of the disease, there is no abnormal arch appearance. People just stand and walk too long, they will have the sense of foot fatigue, soreness, sole of foot edema and dorsal foot edema. Generally the symptom will completely disappearafter the break. We can apply conservative treatment in general. ![]() 2.Spastic flat foot It is developed from postural flat foot in the middle phase of flat foot. The main manifestation is the peroneal muscle spasm, foot valgus/abduction and dorsiflexion, fallen foot arch. The pain will increase,walking and standing can not be sustained for a long time,pain can not be completely alleviated after the break. The severe patient can choose orthopedic surgery. ![]() 3.Ankylosing flat foot It is generated from improper handling two types of flat feet above in t he later phase.Convulsive peroneal muscle becomes ankylosis, interosseous ligament is also ankylosis,which make foot fixed in the valgus, abduction and dorsiflexion position.And foot arch disappears. Walking and standing have difficulties, but pain is reduced. But due to the loss of normal function of the foot, foot can not absorb the shock force, there may lead to knee and lower limb arthritis and pain. If patients feel painless, we just focus on observation.If patients feel pain and they need triple arthrodesis.

Relative blog: Out of misunderstanding of cervical spondylosis Main Points of Gait Training for the Initial Installation of a Disarticulated Hip Prosthesis ![]() Knee is the most complex joints, that is involved in bone and cartilage, ligament and other multiple structures, so the damage opportunities are more. The elderly is due to osteoporosis, joint degeneration and other reasons.They have knee pain and limited mobility, that are common cases in orthopedic clinic. Young people often go to hospital due to muscle strain around the knee, ligament tear or fracture that are caused by sports injuries. Of course, traumatic knee fracture is accompanied with ligament injury,that is a kind of knee injury. ![]() The elderly with arthritis mostly only rely on medication, joint brakes, warm knee, knee braceand other symptomatic treatment; The young people with ligament injury also need joint brakes, knee protection, if necessary, who need for arthroscopic surgery; fracture patients need knee brace to co-operate with rehabilitation exercise after surgery. ![]() As a result, knee brace is an irreplaceable part for the knee injury. MEDI-REHATEK knee brace is made form polyester fiber, nylon, spandex and other materials, that is lightweight, breathable, comfortable. The metal support bar on both sides can bend forwards.The metal bars can support the knee, alas limit the knee to move in lateral direction.The knee brace won’t affect the knee flexion activities. It plays little impact on daily life after wearing, patients are easy to accept. ![]() Medi-Rehatek will introduce the best way to deal with knee pain. Knee is one of the most important joints. There are many reasons that can cause knee pain.Such as poor walking posture and excessive load can cause knee joint strain and pain. For example, some people wear high heels shoes to walk long distances, that will make the knee be in an abnormal state of stress for a long time resulting in chronic injury and causing pain. 1. Strain, poor posture can lead to knee joint pain For knee pain, patients can also use hyperthermia therapy, hydrotherapy, ultrasound, acupuncture and other physical therapy to reduce the acute onset of pain. Patients can take proprietary Chinese medicine as the main role to relieve pain in order to promote blood circulation ![]() 2. Sports injuries can lead to knee pain In the course of the sports activity you have knee pain, and immediately stop the movement so as not to aggravate the injury. Within 24 hours after injury, the injured site should have cold compress that maintains 30 minutes. Patients should avoid heat compress, manipulation, massage or having medication. After 24 hours patients can use analgesic anti-inflammatory topical painkiller latex, then massage the injured site to relax the muscles and promote the blood circulation and to warm and activate meridian.Patients need to wear knee brace to avoid secondary injuries. ![]() 3. Osteoarthritis can lead to knee pain Physical therapy can gently and effectively alleviate knee joint pain and stiffness. Conventional physical therapy methods are ultrashort wave, microwave, iontophoresis, red light, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation etc ![]() 4. Rheumatoid arthritis can lead to knee pain You can also use hot iron and hot compress, manipulation and massage and other physical therapy to slow down the pain. At the same time, rheumatoid arthritis patients can use Chinese medicine, Western medicine, physical therapy besides, they can be supplemented by diet therapy to speed up the rehabilitation process. Relative blog: The reasons of knee pain Main Points of Gait Training for the Initial Installation of a Disarticulated Hip Prosthesis ![]() Today Medi-Rehatek will introduce what the advantage of carbon fiber prosthetic foot is. The separate design of forefoot and heel makes the length of the forefoot extended to the heel position.The length is nearly one time more than the average length of the forefoot feet, which makes the elasticity and energy storage better, and makes patient easier to walk. ![]() The front part of extended forefoot is very wide, and fixed part is very narrow, which makes the forefoot reverse according to the non-flat ground.It can achieve the functions of multi-axial ankle. Foot keel and skin design is combined, as the service life of carbon fiber foot keel is very long.In the long-term use, the damage is only foot skin which needs to be replaced, which saves the maintenance costs. ![]() As the carbon fiber series feet can be combined to adjust to the most suitable for human characteristics.But also the prosthetic feet can be the the most close to the sound feet through the adjustment of carbon fiber storage films according to the different times and body conditions.Then the prosthetic feet is the most comfortable and saving-effort, which has the strongest ability to walk. Relative blog: The causes of knee pain Main Points of Gait Training for the Initial Installation of a Disarticulated Hip Prosthesis ![]() Today Medi-Rehatek will introduce what the merits of carbon fiber prosthetic foot is. Now a lot of prosthetics companies would like to recommended the patient to carbon fiber prosthetic foot. That is why.This is because the carbon fiber prosthetic foot adopts with higher strength and lighter weight materials. The use of more advanced technology and more modern design principles, which makes carbon fiber artificial limb be closer to human function. Such as carbon fiber foot is one of them, the keel material will use the best prosthetic material - carbon fiber as elastic energy storage board. ![]() Its design is special, forefoot and heel part are separate.There are a variety of different energy levels of the energy-saving films.Patients can choose forefoot and hell parts t respectively according to the body weight and activities amount.It avoids an integral part between the forefoot and heel. And it also eliminates the disadvantages like the forepart is suitable but the heel is not suitable, the heel is fit but the forefoot is unfit. ![]() The carbon fiber foot also has a patented square cone displacement elasticity adjuster, which can fine-tune the elasticity of 15% to precisely suit the specific characteristics of different users. Relative blog: Main Points of Gait Training for the Initial Installation of a Disarticulated Hip Prosthesis Best Treatment for Elbow Pain ![]() Medi-Rehatek will continue to introduce how to maintain prosthesis in daily life II. (2)A number of spare prosthetic socks The socks have a good performance of absorbing sweat,that requires regular cleaning and replacement. (3)Always pay attention to whether the upper edge of the socket has a small crack If patients detect timely , who require the prosthetist repair timely. It can extend the service life of prosthesis. ![]() (4)Regularly pay attention to whether the prosthetic limbs has abnormal sound If patients find out that some joint parts or connection parts are damaged or loose, that should be promptly repaired. (5)Modern foam sponge cover of bone-style thigh prosthesis not strong enough. If there is a gap in the front of the knee that should be timely bonded or pasted with some reinforced materials. In addition, this type of prosthesis is not suitable for amputees who wear short socks with elastic mouth. As these socks easily break the outer cover of the leg. ![]() (6)Regular inspection and maintenance: Amputees should have a comprehensive inspection and maintenance every six months or a year ,which can extend the life of artificial limbs.That is important to reduce a variety of residual limbs diseases as the long-term wear of prosthesis. Relative blog: Main Points of Gait Training for the Initial Installation of a Disarticulated Hip Prosthesis When will prosthesis be installed after amputation ![]() Medi-Rehatek will introduce how to maintain prosthesis in daily life. Every step of the amputee is subject to body weight impact. If a person wears a prosthetic limb to walk three kilometers a day, the prosthesis may be subjected to an impact of about one million times a year.It will create a significant load on the prosthesis. In order to maximize the life of the prosthesis, amputees should be carefully protect the prosthesis. ![]() (1)Keep the inner surface of prosthetic socket clean: When patients with amputation are wearing limbs,inside prosthetic socket is in the humid state. If the socket is not clean, all kinds of bacteria is easy to quickly have a large number of breeding,that will cause skin infections and a variety of psoriasis. And prosthetic socket smells unpleasant. ![]() The outer surface of the prosthetic socket can be wiped with a wringing, warm, wet towel, and then make it dry. The internal socket of the below-knee prosthesis (soft prosthetic socket) can be washed with warm water, the water temperature can not be too hot to avoid deformation. The internal cavity of a conventional prosthesis is made of leather and can be wiped with a wet towel that is soaked in soapy water like a thigh prosthesis socket. All prosthetic socket must be dry before wearing. ![]() Medi-Rehatek will introduce the advantages of Ischial containment above-knee and below-knee prosthesis. 1, There is no obvious ischial support plane, the prosthetic socket contains and supports the sciatica from internal and back side; 2, The internal and external diameter of prosthetic socket is quite narrow, and front and rear diameter is relatively wide. It forms an oval figuration in the longitudinal plane.Then blood vessels and nerves at femoral triangle can effectively avoid the pressure; ![]() 3, The outer edge of the prosthetic socket is higher than the greater trochanter,so that the femur can maintain the adduction position of the recipient.It increases the lateral stability of the prosthetic socket; ![]() 4, In addition the ischial containment and the lower part of outside greater trochanter can bear load, also the soft tissue and femoral bone can bear load.So the force can be entirely distributed on the surface of residual limb. ![]() 5,The effect point of synergistic force received by prosthetic socket is close to the hip center, making it closer to the natural physiological state. Therefore, this prosthetic socket is more comfortable to wear, it is relatively easy to control prostheses, is especially for the elderly and amputees with circulatory disorders to use. |
