The foot and ankle orthoses from RCAI target several medical conditions, including:

• Contractures:
  This condition involves the permanent shortening of muscles or tendons, often leading to restricted movement and deformities. Orthoses help in maintaining proper alignment and enhancing mobility.
• Foot drop:
  Characterized by difficulty lifting the front part of the foot, leading to dragging while walking. Orthoses provide support by stabilizing the foot and ankle, allowing for a more natural gait.
• Heel pressure sores:
  These are ulcers that develop on the heel due to prolonged pressure, often seen in bedridden patients. Orthoses help offload pressure from the heel, promoting healing and preventing further injury.
• Spasticity:
  This condition results in increased muscle tone and stiffness, often due to neurological disorders. Orthoses assist in controlling excessive muscle activity and improving functional abilities.
• Inversion/eversion and rotation:
  These terms describe abnormal movements of the foot and ankle. Orthoses aid in stabilizing the joint, preventing unwanted movements, and providing corrective positioning.
• Tendonitis:
  This is the inflammation of a tendon, often due to overuse. Orthoses can alleviate stress on the affected tendon, reducing pain and facilitating recovery.
• Ankle sprains:
  Common injuries involving ligaments being stretched or torn. Orthoses provide necessary support and stabilization to the ankle, aiding in the healing process.
• Stress fractures:
  Tiny cracks in bones, frequently caused by repetitive force. Orthoses help in reducing weight-bearing stress on the affected area, allowing bones to heal properly.
• Plantar fasciitis:
  A painful condition affecting the sole of the foot, particularly the heel. Orthoses offer arch support and cushioning, helping to relieve pain and distribute pressure.
• Ligament and tendon repairs:
  After surgical interventions, orthoses play a crucial role in immobilizing and protecting the repaired structures, facilitating optimal recovery and preventing re-injury.

The multi-podus boots from RCAI are designed to address various injuries, including:

• Fractures:
  These boots provide immobilization and support for different types of fractures around the foot and ankle, aiding in proper alignment and promoting healing.
• Post-operative recovery:
  Following surgical procedures involving the foot and ankle, multi-podus boots offer essential stabilization and protection, helping to ensure a smooth recovery.
• Decubitus ulcers:
  Also known as pressure sores, these injuries often develop on the heels of bedridden patients. Multi-podus boots help alleviate pressure on vulnerable areas, promoting healing and preventing new ulcers from forming.
• Severe sprains:
  For moderate to severe ankle sprains, these boots offer enhanced support and immobilization, allowing ligaments to heal effectively while preventing further injury.
• Traumatic injuries:
  In cases of severe foot and ankle trauma, multi-podus boots provide the necessary stabilization and protection, minimizing movement and facilitating recovery.
• Burns:
  These boots protect the burned area from pressure and friction, promoting healing while maintaining proper foot positioning.
• Wound care:
  Multi-podus boots assist in managing and protecting wounds on the foot and ankle, fostering a conducive environment for healing and preventing complications.
