Flexion
Contracture Modifications to the FLO-TECH-TOR™
- The FLO-TECH-TOR™
socket is pre-flexed if the contracture is 30 degrees or more.
- A hole is drilled in the
distal end of the socket.
- An extra Velcro®
compatible Neoprene® band is applied at the knee.
- The distal end pad(s)
are split in the center.
- A long nylon pull sock
is used to facilitate extension of the knee.
Flexion
Contracture Protocols
- The nylon is placed on
the patient, extending over the knee, with the long remainder at the
distal end.
- The long remainder of
nylon is pulled through the distal end pad(s) and then pushed through
the hole in the distal socket.
- The socket is applied
in the usual manner (gently) while the nylon is tugged with a firm
yet gentle motion.
- The long remainder of
the pull sock is then reverted on itself and pulled up and over the
outside of the FLO-TECH-TOR™.
- The patient and/or aides
must remove the long remainder of the nylon from the outer socket
and tug on it every 30 to 40 minutes to encourage extension of the
knee and reallocate pressure within the socket for enhanced blood
flow.
- The FLO-TECH-TOR™
must be totally removed 4 to 6 times per day (if two sock protocol
is followed) to further stimulate circulation, do range of motion
of the knee and check for any folds or wrinkles in the bandages or
socks (Range of motion is done along with gentle desensitizing [tissue
should not be displaced]).
The FLO-TECH-TOR™
is reapplied 15 to 20 minutes after it is removed.
