From my orthopaedic dictionary!

GAIT: A Manner or style of walking ,stepping,or running.A Normal gait is smooth,coordinated and rhythmic ,although gaits vary from person to person.Many factors,such as pain,joint motion,paralysis,and any deformity of the lower extremities may alter gait.

The gait cycle may be divided into two phases the Stance phase(60 percent of the cycle) and Swing phase(40 percent of the cycle)

The stance phase occurs during the weight bearing portion of walking.Each stance phase is subdivided into heel strike,foot flat,mid-stance,push off and toe off(toe clearance)

Toe off initiates the swing phase,with acceleration in the first half and deceleration in the second half,Swing phase terminates with the heel strike.

Congenital upper limb.

Two fingers attached direct at the shoulder joint.

Cast taking for artificial upper limb fitting ,this case is a bilateral congenital .

KD Prosthesis

We are still using this technology apart from modular one.

From the orthopaedic dictionary!

Delbet walking cast:

A protective plaster device applied either during traction or at a later point in the fracture healing process.This cast is used in tibia fracture to allow weight bearing as well as knee and ankle motion. It is made of a series of overlapping plaster splints molded for weight bearing on the tibial condyles.

Club Foot deformity.

FAB-Foot Abucted Brace

FAB is one of the method of treating CLUB foot

Club foot deformity: Is a birth defect that causes a new born baby's feet to point down and inward,this deformity doesnot cause pain but it can cause long term problems,affecting the child's abilit to walk.If club foot is properly treated the deformity can often be cured in early child hood.

the causes of club foot is not well understood ,it be associated with other congenital malformatio ns such as spina bifida,arthrogryposis etc.

Its features:

-forefoot adduction

-Hindfoot in varus and equinus

-Medial edges in cavus

Its treatment:

by serial manipulation with POP ,this should be immediately after born up to six months.

-followed by soft tissue release and POP in corrected position and Splint application (up to 3 years)

-4 years to 10 years -Soft tissue release and talectomy +CLUB FOOT SPLINT.

-after 10 years-Triple arthrodesis.

The biggest T.F socket !!!!

To get a proper fitting the highly skills in P&O is needed.

It might be one of the biggest T.F Socket in the world.You can put it in your records.
