This World Stroke Day, we’re spreading the World Stroke Organization’s message to by recognizing the signs of stroke and seeking emergency care without delay. 🚨

It’s important to raise awareness of the urgent response to stroke and share knowledge about the rehabilitation decisions that can follow.

➡️ Read our article on gait training and orthotic considerations after stroke on our blog for more: https://hubs.ly/Q04zLZsn0

Before prescribing an AFO, take a look at the footwear your patient regularly wears. Fit, support, and wear patterns can add context to the overall gait and functional assessment, especially when the orthosis will need to work with the patient’s everyday shoes. 👟

How do orthotic solutions contribute to musculoskeletal injury immobilization and rehabilitation? It’s a question physicians bring to us, and it starts with the needs of the affected joint. 🩻

Orthotic solutions can help stabilize and support affected joints during musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation. By providing controlled movement and support, these orthoses may help prevent further damage, promote proper healing, and facilitate a smoother rehabilitation process.

We answer this and other common physician questions on our blog: https://hubs.ly/Q04zVFnt0

An orthotic brace liner can change with use. If the material has thinned, the seams or straps are worn, or the orthosis feels different than it did at fitting, it may be time for a reassessment by a medical provider.

Remember: there isn’t a universal replacement date for everyone—individual condition and fit matter. ⏰

The DDA™ (Dynamic Dorsi-Assist) Articulating Ankle Foot Orthosis brings elastic dorsi-assist straps, posterior articulations, and a telescoping calf section into one adjustable AFO. 🦶

Each feature serves a distinct purpose: the straps provide adjustable dorsi-assistive force, the articulations allow ankle movement, and the telescoping calf section provides additional adjustability.

For medical professionals, those are useful details to assess alongside the patient’s positioning needs and treatment goals. Explore the DDA™ features and resources on our website: https://hubs.ly/Q04zFcQ50

What prompts an orthotic evaluation? A change in gait, insufficient joint control, a positioning need, or concerns about how a device would fit against the patient’s anatomy and skin may each call for closer assessment. 🧐

None of these findings points automatically to one orthosis. The next step is to define the functional concern and evaluate it with the care team.

Let’s do some myth-busting, particularly about prefabricated orthoses. 🤨

🚫 MYTH: A prefabricated orthosis can simply be taken off the shelf and worn as-is.

☑️ FACT: Prefabricated devices still require appropriate selection and professional fitting. The difference between a prefabricated and custom orthosis is how the device is fabricated, not whether fit and clinical assessment matter.

See how the two approaches differ on our blog: https://hubs.ly/Q04zF27N0

This , we’re recognizing the physical therapists and teams who observe how patients move, respond to treatment, and use their orthoses in practice. Those observations give the care team valuable information for refining treatment decisions and supporting better patient outcomes. 🤝

When therapists, orthotists, and physicians bring their observations together, each has a clearer picture of what the patient needs.

See how those perspectives contribute to orthotic care on our blog: https://hubs.ly/Q04zDYgL0
