Orthosis Education & Training for Elderly Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Hello Theracuties! Please watch in 1080p (HD).

Elderly patients who are suffering from rheumatoid arthritis may have difficulty performing push-off when walking due to painful toes secondary to MTP subluxation. Such condition may require the use of shoe orthosis with external modifications like rocker bar and metatarsal pad in order to redistribute pressure, decrease pain, and improve push-off for better walking ability. By watching this video, you will learn how physical therapists perform assessments/evaluation of patient learning needs in order to facilitate orthosis training, as well as the different patient education program like appropriate orthosis donning and doffing, proper care and maintenance, and gait training. Make sure to watch until the end, and don't forget to hit that thumbs up button for youtube algorithm,and subscribe to my channel for more videos like this. Thank you and enjoy!
