Peripheral nerve damage such as brachial plexus palsy often occurs at birth and leads to restricted arm movement, reduced muscle strength, and asymmetric posture. Orthopedic aids help align joints correctly, support movement functions, and prevent misalignments from becoming permanent.
In tethered cord syndrome, the spinal cord is anchored within the spinal canal, causing traction during growth and movement. Orthopedic aids help compensate for muscular imbalances, stabilize feet and joints, and prevent secondary misalignments from developing over time.
Muscular dystrophies are hereditary conditions characterized by the progressive breakdown of muscle tissue. The disease often begins in childhood and advances at varying rates depending on the type. Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy are among the most well-known forms. Typical signs primarily affect mobility, gait, and posture. Progressive muscle weakness: The legs and pelvis are often affected early, making everyday…
ALS is a progressive disease of the nervous system that leads to increasing muscle weakness, reduced mobility, and a growing need for support. Orthopedic aids help preserve existing functions for as long as possible, improve comfort and safety, and adapt continuously to the course of the disease.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nervous system that can cause muscle weakness, coordination problems, and gait instability. Orthopedic aids help conserve energy, guide movement, and maintain everyday independence for as long as possible.
Syndrome conditions are genetic or developmental disorders that can affect multiple body systems simultaneously. Orthopedic care helps stabilize unstable joints, correct misalignments, and actively support motor development throughout every stage of growth.
