Allied Health Resources-Rehab Specific to the IDEO Brace (PT Breakout)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Lisa Prasso discusses the IDEO brace, which is used to preserve limbs and reduce elective amputations. The brace was developed at Brook Army Medical and is used for hind and midfoot injuries, ankle injuries, distal tibia injuries, and other complex injuries. It helps with range of motion, push-off strength, nerve injuries, and pain. The brace consists of a proximal cuff, posterior strut, and custom foot plate. Physical therapy exercises are modified to accommodate the brace, focusing on strength training and agility drills. Assessments are done to measure outcomes, such as gait speed, dynamic balance, strength, and power. The video highlights the importance of proper fit, midfoot strike, lower extremity strength, and efficient running with the brace. Potential drawbacks include bulkiness, the need for multiple shoes, the learning curve, and the risk of breakage. The video concludes with a Q&A session. No credits were mentioned in the video. The speaker's name is Dr. Lisa Prasso.
