Orthotics
The Nerve Injury Clinic provides an orthotics service for patients receiving physiotherapy. Our experienced orthotist, Andy Budgen, commonly sees patients for assessment and provision of
- Shoe inserts (functional foot orthoses) that improve the foot, ankle and leg alignment. They can help alleviate pain or discomfort related to various foot, leg, or back problems. The patient is assessed, an impression of the foot is taken and bespoke inserts are then made and fitted to the patient. Specific advice regarding their use is given to the patient.
- Ankle- foot orthoses (AFOs) for foot drop. Andy has a wealth of knowledge on the different types of AFOs on the market and can advise on and provide the correct one for each patient.
- Shoulder braces for brachial plexus patients to improve shoulder alignment, reduce pain and increase function.
- Wrist splints, again to improve joint alignment, reduce strain through specific soft tissues and relieve pain.
