Every individual has singular and differentiated needs according to their affectation, physiognomy, and social and cognitive characteristics, reinforcing the need for personalized analysis and treatment.
Assessment of the real needs of each patient, according to the diagnosis, prescription and individual expectations.
Each case is evaluated with different methods and exams for an individual and detailed analysis.
After a detailed analysis and needs assessment, based on the diagnosis, tests performed and prescription, the most suitable device for the patient will be manufactured or adapted.
We provide consultancy services in O&P with trained, certified professionals, authorized to practice in several countries. We currently collaborate with companies in Spain, UK and Norway
Prosthetics are devices that replace an amputated limb. They can be aesthetic or functional. We specialize in Bionic and Microprocessor Controlled Prosthetics.
Orthotics are devices that improve the functionality of a body segment affected by muscular, aesthetic or neurological complications.
These are products or equipment that serve to compensate for limitations and/or prevent their aggravation, allowing the performance of daily activities and participation in school, professional, and sociocultural life.
Plantar orthoses, commonly called orthopaedic insoles, are devices that are inserted into shoes with the aim of changing the functionality of the foot.
Using digital baropodometric equipment, we can perform an individualized biomechanical gait assessment with details of pressure, balance and contact with the ground, which allows us, together with the clinical evaluation of signs and symptoms, to decide with greater accuracy the technical specifications of the insoles.
These are products that allow you to reduce pain and increase functionality.
Ranging from arm immobilizers, knee supports to spinal correctors. Even though they are prefabricated products, these should be carefully selected and adjusted.
Compression therapy is considered the basic form of treatment for venous diseases.
Medical compression garments are medical devices that can be prescribed by your doctor.
Support stockings are only suitable for people who do not have venous problems.
We collaborate with several companies in the O & P, sector both national and international, providing specialized technical support in the development of projects and client management, as well as in the clinical aspect and development of protocols.
These services may be provided remotely or in-situ, depending on the specific needs of each case.
We have experience providing technical support in the development of products and innovation projects, technical support for companies who require product specialists for client training and management.
iORTHOS also provide support for companies that need orthotists and prosthetists for specific seasons or events and prefer to outsource these services.
The human hand is a complex system, and often undervalued until the moment of loss, but with a very significant psychosocial significance. Amputation can affect an individual's self-perception and/or identity and have a significant impact on social and labor participation, as well as the level of functional independence.
The comfort offered by an upper limb prosthesis is often measured by its ability to adapt to the user's needs.
With the technological advance, the tendency is to have more and more intelligent prostheses. This artificial intelligence is the result of intense pattern identification work, which allows for the optimization of movements through specific muscle contractions.
At iORTHOS we are certified for the adjustment and application of the most current components, with special dedication to bionic systems, being certified in the P.A.U.L.A. and BeBionic.
Walking is an activity inherent to human beings, which gives them autonomy for daily life, but the impairment of the lower limbs hinders and prevents this activity, often making social and labor participation impossible. Lower limb prostheses aim to restore this autonomy.
There are many variables and options for lower limb replacements — there are over 350 different foot/ankle systems and over 200 different knee types. The prosthetist must assess the patient's characteristics, needs and expectations to determine the components that will provide optimal balance, safety, functionality and gait efficiency.
Most lower limb prostheses are endoskeletal, which allows continuous adjustment of the biomechanical alignment, refining the kinematics of the foot, ankle and knee components of the prosthesis under the center of gravity, minimizing the energy expenditure of gait. This task is fundamental for the success of the fitting and requires a multidisciplinary work, but at the same time it also requires an active and motivated participation of the patient.
At iORTHOS we are certified for the adjustment and application of the most current components, with special dedication to bionic and microprocessor controlled components.
We have extensive experience in fitting and adjusting microprocessor-controlled knees and are C-Leg 4, Kenevo, Genium and X3 certified.
Orthotics support the function of joints such as the spine, shoulders, hips, knees or ankles. They are used to relieve tensions exerted on joints and stabilize or immobilize them in irritative states, injuries or after surgery.
Made-to-measure orthoses are indicated for cases of a specific nature that need correction and individual adaptation. They are manufactured based on the patient's anatomy by taking manual or digital models, depending on the characteristics or manufacturing methods.
We evaluate and manufacture upper and lower limb orthoses, using 3D printing technologies or manual techniques.
A correct evaluation and modifications of the casts taken from the patient, together with a design optimized to functionality and comfort, and a correct adaptation of the device, are fundamental for the success of the treatment.
Made-to-measure orthoses are generally applied in cases of spinal deviations, stroke sequelae, Cerebral Palsy and other motor or functional impairments.
Orthotics and other prefabricated orthopaedic products support joint function of the spine, upper or lower limbs. They are used to relieve tensions exerted on joints and stabilize or immobilize them in irritative states, injuries or after surgery.
Pre-fabricated orthoses are indicated for cases of a general nature without special need for correction and individual adaptation. These are products that, despite not being made to measure for the patient, require adaptation and adjustment to optimize the results of the treatment, and the orthotist ought to take measures for a correct selection of the product and adapt it to the patient, often requiring individual adjustments.
We avoid keeping a stock of these products, favouring the order patient-specific products, based on the assessment of individual needs.
Foot orthoses are devices that are inserted into footwear with the aim of changing the functionality of the foot and/or providing protection or accommodation.
Often, in common language, called “insoles”, they should not be confused with pre-fabricated insoles sold in different commercial establishments, which are indicated for asymptomatic cases or mild symptoms, and do not have the scope of treatment and effectiveness of custom-made foot orthoses.
Foot orthoses can be classified into one of three broad categories: Accommodative, Corrective, and Mixed.
They can be designed for use in classic footwear, including those with “high heels”, or in special footwear for rheumatic patients, diabetics, etc., and for the practice of collective or individual sports.
Foot orthoses are indicated for: prevention (especially in cases of diabetes and sports practice), pathology in the lower limbs (ex.: Osteoarthritis, Plantar Fasciitis, etc...) and/or spine with or without complaints of pain, recovery of injuries.
Our products are obtained through digital fabrication technologies, using three-dimensional images of the foot, and designing each orthosis using specific CAD software. The final product is manufactured using computerized milling machines or 3D printing systems. However, each product is finished manually to ensure an adequate adjustment to the needs of each patient.
Also known as the tread test, baropodometry is a resource that allows an analysis of possible problems in the feet, ankles, and knees and with that to be able to guide a way to avoid injuries to these joints.
Our feet represent the main source of support for our body, as they receive the greatest load when touching the ground throughout the day.
Pain in the legs, knees and even in the spine could be avoided or solved if the patient correctly distributed the weight and impact of the body while walking or running.
Baropodometry is oriented to those who have any symptoms, but it can also be done by people who want to know more about their foot and tread, identifying risk factors for injuries. It is carried out in two stages:
Static analysis - carried out with the patient standing on a platform for a short, pre-established period.
Foot type (flat, cavus, normal), center of gravity and peaks of greater plantar pressure are evaluated. Based on this analysis, structural and postural changes can be evidenced.
Dynamic analysis - performed with the patient walking on the platform. From there, it will be possible to determine your type of step (pronated, supinated, normal), lines of progression and center of gravity, showing the biomechanical changes in muscle actions during gait.
In this way, the baropodometry result helps in the determination of a problem and allows guidance for the correct and appropriate use of footwear, foot orthoses (orthopedic insoles) and other orthoses.
Compressive therapy consists of the application of external pressure to the lower limb, which promotes the reduction of venous hypertension, inflammatory mediators and edema, improves the return of venous blood flow, valvular competence, and lymphatic drainage.
The severity of venous and/or lymphatic disease is decisive in choosing the necessary compression. Depending on the nature and stage of disease progression, different models and/or compression materials may be recommended. Different degrees of compression can be classified into four different compression classes (CCL I, II, III, IV) and choosing the device with the correct compression class is critical to successful treatment.
This therapy is the first-choice treatment for venous leg ulcers, but despite the obvious benefits of its application, the inappropriate application of compression therapy, especially in situations of arterial compromise, can cause pain, trauma, ischemia and even amputation of the limb. In this sense, before starting compression therapy, you should consult a specialist. In addition to arterial ulcers, the use of compression therapy is contraindicated in situations of acute cellulitis, unstable heart failure, in the acute phase of deep vein thrombosis, septic phlebitis and advanced peripheral neuropathy.
Even in cases of light compression devices (rest or travel socks), you should always consult a specialist to advise you on choosing the most suitable device for you.
Technical Aids are equipment that serve to compensate for a disability or functional loss or to mitigate its consequences, prevent the worsening of the person's clinical situation and allow the performance of daily activities and participation in school, professional, cultural and social life.
Some examples of technical aids are:
- Wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches (walking aids)
- Anti-bedsore pillows, orthopaedic mattresses, articulated beds, transfer lifts (Positioning, transfer and ulcer prevention)
- Supplies and equipment for feeding, such as, adapted forks, spoons, plates, and cups (Aids for feeding)
- Clothing materials and equipment such as tweezers, hooks, protective gloves, special clothing (Clothing aids)
- Hygiene materials and equipment, such as grab bars, bath seats, bathing chairs and benches, adapted bathtubs, non-slip materials (Hygiene aids)
- Materials and equipment for communication, such as adapted pens, computers, communication tablets, devices for turning sheets, sound amplifiers, enhanced telephones (Aids for communication)
- Adaptations for cars, such as special seats and cushions, custom adaptations for getting in and out of the car, adaptations for car controls
These aids increase autonomy for activities of daily living and allow greater social and labor participation.
