Abstract

INTRODUCTION By enabling users to flex the orthotic leg during swing phase and safely lock it during stance phase, stance control orthosis (SCO) offers clear benefits compared to locked knee-ankle-foot-orthosis (KAFO)1. Since such orthoses do not offer dampened knee flexion in the weight-bearing condition, this represents a limitation in everyday activities such as ramp and stair descent. C-Brace, a microprocessor controlled stance and swing orthosis (SSCO), overcomes many of those problems. Maximum knee flexion angle in stance and swing phase during level walking are closer to physiological values with C-Brace compared to conventional KAFOs2. The patients are with C-Brace able to descend stairs and ramps reciprocally2. Furthermore, patients report of safer and easier ability to perform activities of daily living3. The main aim of next generation C-Brace is a reduction in size and an increase of adaptability to the patient’s anatomic structure. Due to technological changes, improvements especially for difficult ADLs (e.g. walking on uneven ground) are expected.

新一代微处理器控制的站立和摆动控制矫形器的性能、患者利益和接受度

简介通过使用户能够在摆动阶段弯曲矫正腿，并在站立阶段安全锁定，与锁定膝踝足矫形器（KAFO）1相比，站立控制矫形器提供了明显的优势。由于这种矫形器在负重条件下不能提供缓冲的膝关节屈曲，这代表了日常活动的限制，如坡道和楼梯下降。C-Brace是一种微处理器控制的站立和摆动矫形器（SSCO），它克服了许多这些问题。与传统的KAFOs2相比，C-Brace在水平行走过程中站立和摆动阶段的最大膝关节屈曲角度更接近生理值。患者采用C型支架，能够往返楼梯和坡道2。此外，患者报告称，他们能够更安全、更轻松地进行日常生活活动3。下一代C型支架的主要目的是缩小尺寸，提高对患者解剖结构的适应性。由于技术的变化，特别是对于困难的ADL（如在不平的地面上行走），预计会有改进。摘要PDF链接：https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cpoj/article/view/32020/24438如何引用：Wismer N，Krebs A，Braatz F，Schmalz T，Kranzl A，Breuer C.新一代微处理器控制支架和摆动控制ORTHOSIS的性能、患者益处和接受。《加拿大假肢与矫形学杂志》，2018年第2期，第1卷；摘要，2018年9月26日至29日在加拿大温哥华举行的第101届国民议会海报展示https://doi.org/10.33137/cpoj.v1i2.32020摘要由美国矫形修复协会（AOPA）第101届国民议会科学委员会进行同行评审。http://www.aopanet.org/
