Tailor-made compression/containment orthosis for reinforcing the muscular-aponeurotic pump of the calf

摘要

The orthosis (10) has an elastic compressive distal portion (14) for covering ankle and extending to a level of a point, where the Achilles tendon joins calf muscles. A containment proximal portion (16) is extended to the distal portion, and is adjacent to a containment proximal portion such that to cover a periphery of a region of a calf extending between a level (B1) of a junction point between the Achilles tendon and the calf muscle and the level (D) situated beneath tibial tuberosity. The containment proximal portion is continuously knitted with the distal portion. A knit yarn and a weft yarn is spandex with a polyamide and cotton covering. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for making-to-measure a medical compression/containment orthosis of a lower limb to fit a patient (2) a method for fabricating a medical compressive/containment orthosis for lower limb.
