Core technologies

The Thuasne Group employs a vast array of manufacturing technologies to design orthotic solutions. These core technologies can be found across our ranges and are a cornerstone of Thuasne®’s success.

TEXTILE

Textile expertise for the benefit of patients

The origins of Thuasne® can be found in textile and it has been a focus since the company was founded, in 1847. Using both knitting and weaving technologies within its solutions, Thuasne® is on the cutting edge of the textile industry when it comes to medical device manufacturing.

Thuasne®’s spinal bracing solutions (LombaStab range) use weaving technology that provides compression to increase intra-abdominal pressure while helping to relieve pain and discomfort(1). This same weaving is also breathable, featuring a unique double-sided design that encourages the evaporation of moisture for a cool, comfortable fit(2)

The knitting technology used on upper and lower extremity bracing provides multiple features within a single knit structure: medical grade compression(3), anti-migration technology(4), anatomical shape, lower compression areas for comfort(5), contribute to efficacy, comfort and compliance.

COMPOSITES

Innovation in orthotics through the science of composite materials

Thuasne® is committed to maximising the potential of each patient through innovative design and cuttingedge technology. Using the unique mechanical properties of a proprietary blend of composite materials, Thuasne®’s devices help improve mobility with every step. Inspired by the strength and flexibility of materials used in the automotive and aeronautics industries, Thuasne®’s off-the-shelf (OTS) and custom braces offer elegant(6) and reliable solutions to the most complex biomechanical deficits.

Thuasne®’s success in composite science and orthotics is based on three tenets of design:

1 The use of material diversity for enhanced features and benefits

2 The geometry, size and length of fibres

3 The ratio of fibre to matrix

KNEE AND SPINAL TECHNOLOGY

Knee bracing technology

Thuasne®'s functional knee braces are designed for better fit and function(2). Featuring Thuasne®’s Motion hinge technology, the TM5 is a biomechanically correct knee joint that mimics the roll and glide motion of the knee(1)(2)

The tibial bolster addresses rotary instability by contouring the brace to fit the flatter medial side of the tibia. The combination of the TM5 hinge and anterior tibial bolster helps protect the knee against the two leading causes of ACL injuries: anterior tibial drawer and internal tibial rotation(1)

The Synergistic Suspension Strap maintains intimacy of fit and brace positioning thanks to its non-elastic materials and angled placement at the top of the calf muscle. The Compression and Suspension (C/S) package provides an additional suspension element for patients who lack calf muscle shape(1)

Osteoarthritis (OA) braces feature two offloading technologies(1):

- Loadshifter technology (rigid double uprights knee braces): the upper shell varus or valgus angle can be adjusted to create a corrective force specific to the patient’s needs.

- Cross-strap system (on single upright knee braces): inelastic straps intersect on the unaffected side of the leg to create a dynamic 3-point lever arm while the leg is in extension.

The Rebel Reliever® (see page 60), featuring Loadshifter technology, averaged a 36% reduction of force through the knee (peak KAM)(4) leading to decreased pain and improved function(1)(3).

CASTING

& SCANNING

Why do we need the scan of a cast?

Ensuring proper alignment is key to a successful orthotic outcome. Therefore, we require a shape capture through a cast that takes into account the footwear profile (heel height, toe ramp position etc.) as well as the intended brace alignment.

Our default alignment is:

Foot and ankle positioned as for the intended footwear;

The tibial crest 7° inclined to the vertical;

The midline of the thigh vertical.

Shape capture (cast + scan)

Making custom products is a collaborative effort to satisfy the patient and improve their daily life.

To create a unique solution for each patient, we need information and shape which will be used to manufacture each product.

The two main inputs we require are the following:

Order form

• Give the biomechanical goals and the context of the brace.

• Measurements are important to validate scan accuracy and certain landmarks (knee M-L, knee center height) → can be a reason for fit warranty withdrawal.

• A printed version is available in this catalogue for each custom product.

Shape capture

• Gives the shape and anatomical references for the job.

• The goal is to replicate the intended brace alignment.

• Once the shape is obtained you can either scan the negative cast (if the cast is no more than 3 ply of fiberglass at any level) or scan the positive cast (recommended for thick casts or plaster of paris casts).

• Direct scans of the leg are accepted for knee orthoses.

• Thuasne® facilities ONLY accept scans of casts –casts can no longer be shipped.

• Various formats possible (ideally .stl).

THUASNE®

A COMPLETED ORDER FORM IS FUNDAMENTAL TO UNDERSTAND YOUR GOALS AND THE CLINICAL PRESENTATION OF THE PATIENT

Initials

Please do not provide any patient personal information.

NO PATIENT NAME

Diagnosis

Can influence the design in some instances.

Insole

SpryStep® Custom

Tracing of shoe insole helps to make a foot section as precise as possible. No tracing = trimming may be required at fitting.

Shoe

Heel & forefoot height are crucial; they will contribute to determining the alignment.

ROM + cast information

Will determine if we can reach the default Thuasne® alignment:

• Foot and ankle positioned as for the intended footwear;

• Tibial crest 7° inclined to the vertical;

• Midline of the thigh vertical. If not, the brace may require extrinsic posting during fitting.

Activity level and biomechanical objectives are two fundamental sections to understand what you and the patient are expecting to achieve with the device. For example, a high activity goal may influence the recommended shell configuration of the device.

Shell configuration

Posterior is the default. If you do not know what to prescribe, start with a Posterior and find a reason not to use it.

Our design team can help on this design aspect and provide advice on which shell configuration would be the most suitable and durable.

Coronal plane extension

Extends from the calf cuff.

Molded inner boot

Plastic inner boot gives room, attached to the composites frame, can be removed for on the spot tuning by the clinician (this part can be heat molded).

Knee joint

The choice is limited to two options (for KAFO only), single pivot and 5-bar:

• 5-bar is usually the default.

• 5-bar can be totally free or locking with free motion (manual triggers are not recommended).

Extension assist can be added. It consists of removable elastic bands, and the resistance can easily be increased or decreased.

Measurements have two purposes:

1. Confirm the scan accuracy

- Circumferences can help confirm if anything is “off” with the scan → consistently bigger/smaller.

2. Define critical measurements that are difficult to assess on scan

- Especially when there is a lot of soft tissue.

- Knee center height and knee M-L are the two most critical measurements. Fit warranty may be withdrawn if those two measurements are not provided.

TO HELP YOU WITH CASTING, WE PROPOSE THE FOLLOWING TOOLS:

The shoulder is one of the areas of the body most affected by repetitive strain injuries (RSI), particularly rotator cuff tendinitis.

Collar bone fracture: Children are the most affected (almost half of all collar bone fractures), followed by men under the age of 30, due to sports injuries (2)

SHOULDER IMMOBILISERS & ARM SLINGS: WHAT BENEFITS?

Thuasne shoulder braces can be modular, depending on the models, and accompany patients from the post-traumatic or post-operative immobilisation phase right through to rehabilitation and recovery. There are two different types of immobilisation:

following trauma or surgery 1 2

Immobilisation in neutral position

Functional immobilisation for rehabilitation and gradual resumption of shoulder movement and/or function

The physician decides on the immobilisation duration on the basis of the severity of the trauma, its nature and the type of associated damage. Prolonged strict immobilisation can have significant consequences, such as stiffness. It is for this reason that the initiation of a gradual, adapted rehabilitation programme designed to restore pain-free, unrestricted function is recommended(2)

Did you know

Carpal tunnel syndrome, due to median nerve compression, represents almost all repetitive strain injuries of the wrist

It is caused by repeated flexion/extension movements, tight gripping, pressure on the palm and vibrations (vibrating tools), etc.

1/4 pregnant women

are affected by carpal tunnel syndrome. In this case, the trigger is fluid retention, causing the tissues to swell and compress the median nerve(1)

Wrist fractures

130,000

is the number of wrist fractures every year, often due to a fall(2)

Finger injuries

Sport is also one of the biggest causes of injury. For example, 3/4 of all handball injuries affect the fingers

SpryStep® Vector KAFO

Custom dynamic knee ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO)

U3300

Durable, versatile and lightweight(1), the SpryStep® Vector KAFO combines the power of modern composite manufacturing with the performance of the trusted SpryStep® AFO range, with trusted Thuasne® hinges. Featuring four shell configurations, a variety of joint options and two molded inner boot styles, the SpryStep® Vector KAFO is the comprehensive solution giving patients the confidence they need to return to a normalised life.

PATIENT PROFILE

• Patients with varying neurological lower limb deficits e.g. CVA, MS, TBI, CMT, spinal cord injury, polio. Patients whose biomechanical control cannot be optimised by an AFO alone. Patients whose neurological deficit requires locking of the knee and control of the foot and ankle (locking optional).

• Patients with potential for recovery via rehabilitation.

MAIN FEATURES

• Made to patient: custom fabricated from a model of the patient leg. Digital workflow: premanufacture report communicates the outcomes of the modelling process and identifies areas of attention for fitting.

• Strength and lightness: composite structure, lightweight and durable, designed with a specific material combination and a precise manufacturing process. Minimalistic composite structure: avoids bony prominences allowing a high margin of fitting error.

• Absence of ankle joint: minimising distal weight and shoe bulk.

• Dynamism: posterior lateral position of the strut to optimise compliance and energy return during physical activity.

Gait optimisation: material selection and shell configuration designed to support patient mobility(1)

• Adaptability: trimmable areas to adapt the fit. Available with different options: refer to the order form.

MODES OF ACTION

The SpryStep® posterior/posterior KAFO configuration is the default design of the KAFO range. Combining a good cast with optimal strap positioning, makes it the most versatile and forgiving device with a track record of success (1) for a wide variety of conditions.
