Orthopedic braces are medical devices used to support, align, and protect injured or weakened bones, muscles, and joints as they heal. The document describes several common types of orthopedic braces including unloader knee braces used to reduce weight on the knee and improve functionality for osteoarthritis patients, patellar braces that help keep the kneecap in position for patellofemoral pain syndrome, knee immobilizers used to immobilize the knee for injuries like ruptured quadriceps or ligaments, functional ankle braces that provide external support to limit motions after ankle sprains, night splints used to treat heel and ankle pain from issues like plantar fasciitis, and spinal bracing used to support sprains, strains
Orthosis
The aim of orthotics is to increase the efficiency of function during acute or long-term injury. This includes soft-tissue and bony injury, as well as changes as a result of neurological changes. They can be an effective adjunct alongside physiotherapy techniques such as muscle strengthening and stretches, gait and balance retraining and reach and grasp strategies.
Definition :An orthosis is generally an individually designed or customised device, which is applied to the external part of the body to provide support and protection for that particular area of the body. It uses integrates biomechanical principles to realign joints and reduce pain. The design, materials and function of the orthosis are based on a patient assessment, including their medical history, biomechanical principles and the individual needs of the user.
Commonly prescribed orthoses include:
Foot Orthoses (FOs), for various foot, leg or postural problems; there is significant variety in terms of their design and manufacturing methods[1][2]
Ankle Orthoses (AOs) and Knee Orthoses (KOs), for joint protection, pain reduction or support after surgery
Ankle-Foot Orthoses (AFOs) and Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses (KAFOs), to improve mobility, support rehabilitation and biomechanical goals
Various upper-limb orthoses, to provide positional and functional support to the upper limb
Fracture orthoses, modern alternative to plaster or fibreglass casts
Spinal Orthoses, to correct or control spinal deformities and injuries and to provide immobilisation or support to spinal injuries
Advantages
Lower limb: Influence both swing and stance phase of gait[10].
Prevent or correct deformity and reduce pain during weight-bearing
Improve the efficiency of gait and maintain balance
Improve base of support / lateral support
Reduce need for compensation of ipsilateral and contralateral limbs and secondary pain
To facilitate training in skills
Upper limbs: Can be used after an injury to prevent further injury, or reduce pain by supporting an injured limb.
Prevent or correct deformity reducing pain and maximising function in reach and grasp tasks.
Improve the efficiency of reach and grasp tasks
Offload an injured limb to allow healing
Reduce need for compensation of ipsilateral and contralateral limbs and secondary pain
Improve role of the upper limb in maintaining balance
Spine: Stabilise spinal fractures to allow the patient to return to some normal activities (although they may be restricted) and protect the spinal cord
And It's Principles
Classification of Orthosis
Types Of Orthosis
Upper Limb Orthosis
Spinal Orthosis
Lower Limb Orthosis
Possible Complications
Loss of sensation (check skin regularly- risk of pressure areas)
Compensations in ipsilateral or contralateral limbs.
Impact on spasticity (is the patient utilising spasticity to allow some function in absence of muscle strength?)
Complications of casting at incorrect angle: Foot deformitie, increased knee flexion in stanc

Effective homeopathic medicines for arthritis which gives a long term cure to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, joints pain, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain
Homeopathic medicines are very highly effective in management of piles and the symptoms associated with it such as pain, bleeding, itching, etc. The point to be emphasized is that the relief of symptoms is obtained with absolute gentleness and without invasion or surgery of any kind. Besides, the condition has high backslide rate taking after surgical treatment, since surgery does not focus on the main drivers such as hereditary inclinations, periodic clogging, and so forth. Homeopathic drugs work at the root level and can change these hereditary inclinations accordingly decreasing odds of backslide and repeat of the condition essentially. Homeopathy treatment reduces the intra abdominal pressure. There are good medicines that relieve constipation which plays major role in developing piles.
6 most common important homeopathy medicines for piles:
Aesculus :
Nux Vomica:
Graphites
Hamamelis
collinsonia,
aesculus

"giving out," or as a popping sensation with knee movement. Unfortunately, there is no "key" or secret trick to unlock your knee joint, though various treatments exist to help with knee locking symptoms.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

2. Orthopedic Braces
“Orthopedic braces are medical devices
designed to address musculoskeletal issues,
they are used to properly align, correct the
position, support, stabilize, and protect certain
parts of the body (particularly the muscles, joints,
and bones) as they heal from injury or trauma.”
