Contact Sensor
For the patient population that cannot tell when a heel suspension orthoses is properly fitting or when such patients experience bouts of uncontrollable extensor thrusts: make sure the orthoses does what it was intended to do and not allowed to produce unwanted contact with the patients bony prominences.To ensure that the AFO is properly secured to the patient's lower extremity the Contact Sensor will provide early warning before any discomfort to the patient is noticed. Once the patient's extremity comes into contact with the sensor strip the red warning light will illuminate stating an adjustment will need to be made. The warning light will remain on until contact is removed from the sensor strip and for an additional 15 seconds before it resets itself. Consistent follow-up and possible reapplication of ANY orthosis is critical in the proper care of the patient. Therefore, once the Contact Sensor indicates an adjustment is needed the medical professional or patient will need to follow the proper fitting instructions for their existing orthosis.
The Contact Sensor comes complete with a 9V battery, 6-foot power cord and self-adhesive trimable sensor strip. The sensor box can be easily attached to the foot of the patient's bed or a wheelchair.
NOTE: The Contact Sensor can be applied to any heel suspension device or AFO given a proper initial evaluation by a qualified medical professional.
