Abstract

An orthosis is a device applied to the body externally to relieve pain, stabilize or immobilize, prevent or correct deformity, improve function, positioning, supporting and asist weak muscles. It can be applied to any part of the body, such as the hand, elbow, shoulder, head, neck, back, hip, knee, ankle and foot. As part of the comprehensive management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and related conditions, orthoses may be recommended to treat symptoms of the disease and improve performance of everyday activities. However orthosis prescription is not a simple process; clinicians and patients need to work together to determine the daily wear pattern that maximizes benefit and minimizes inconvenience according to the patients' individual needs. Besides, patients wearing orthoses should be instructed about daily and total usage duration, necessitating orthosis wearing tasks, hygienic rules and to avoid undesirable effects of orthosis usage. In this manuscript, the articles relating orthosis usage in inflammatory rheumatologic diseases have been reviewed.

Özet

Ortez; ağrıyı hafifletmek, stabilize veya immobilize etmek, deformiteleri önlemek veya düzeltmek, fonksiyonu iyileştirmek, pozisyonlamak, desteklemek ve zayıf kaslara yardımcı olmak amacıyla vücuda dışarıdan uygulanan bir cihazdır. El, dirsek, omuz, baş, boyun, bel, kalça, diz, ayak bileği ve ayak gibi herhangi bir vücut parçasına uygulanabilir. Romatoid artrit ve ilişkili durumların kapsamlı tedavisinin bir parçası olarak ortezler, hastalığın semptomlarını tedavi etmek ve günlük aktivitelerdeki performansı iyileştirmek için önerilirler. Bununla birlikte ortez reçete etmek basit bir işlem değildir; hekim ve hasta, yararlanımı artırmak ve uyumsuzluğu azaltmak için hastanın bireysel ihtiyaçlarına göre günlük kullanım şeklini belirlemek üzere birlikte çalışmalıdırlar. Ayrıca, ortez takan hastalar günlük ve total kullanım süresi, ortez takmayı gerektiren işler, hijyenik kurallar ve ortez kullanımının istenmeyen etkilerinden kaçınmak konusunda bilgilendirilmelidirler. Bu yazıda, inflamatuvar romatizmal hastalıklarda ortez kullanımıyla ilgili makaleler gözden geçirilmiştir.
