Orthotic management in peripheral neuropathy
1Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of California Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, California, USA.
Abstract:
An appropriate orthosis can improve the function of a patient with peripheral neuropathy. It is crucial to be cognizant of the patient's goals, concomitant medical conditions, cosmesis, comfort, and functional deficits. In addition, a close working relationship with an orthotist will ensure a successful orthotic prescription.
