The features of a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device, such as the one pictured, typically include the following:

How it works: A TENS device is a small, battery-powered unit that delivers a weak electrical current through adhesive electrodes placed on the skin. These electrical impulses stimulate the nerves in the targeted area to help block or alter the transmission of pain signals to the brain.

Components: It consists of a main unit (often the size of a small cell phone), connecting wires, and several sets of adhesive electrodes.

Adjustable settings: The user can typically adjust the intensity, frequency, and duration of the electrical impulses to find a comfortable and effective level.

Operating Modes: TENS machines often offer different modes, such as a continuous mode (constant tingling sensation) and a burst mode (pulsing sensation).

Portability: These devices are generally lightweight and portable, allowing them to be used during a variety of activities, with the exception of showering, swimming, or driving in some cases.

Applications: TENS devices are used to relieve various types of pain, including back pain, joint pain, neuralgia, menstrual cramps, and pain related to musculoskeletal injuries.

Technical Specifications (vary by model):

Frequency: For example, 1 to 250 Hz.
Pulse Width: For example, 20 to 250 microseconds.
Number of Channels: Some models have two or four channels.
Power Source: Often a 9-volt battery or dual power supply (mains/battery).
Display: A graphic LCD display is common.

The Bort CoxaPro hip orthosis, shown in the image, has several key features:

Functionality and Mobilization: It is designed to ensure the function and/or mobilization of the hip joint.

Motion Limitation: It allows for simple limitation of flexion and extension movement.

Tool-Free Adjustment: Extension and flexion can be adjusted without tools to specific angles: 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°.

Trochanteric Pad: Includes a trochanteric pad for intermittent massage.

Splint Adaptation: The joint splint at the hip and thigh is adaptable thanks to cold molding (aluminum splint).

Functional Safety: Ensures good functional safety of the hip joint thanks to two wide, opposing reins on the thigh.

Comfort and Material: Its design is lightweight and slim for high wearing comfort. It is made of high-quality cotton-based functional knit, which is particularly resistant to Velcro.

• This splint is a breathable (ambidextrous) thumb immobilizing splint designed to immobilize the thumb and wrist.
• It is made of breathable material, often velvet or perforated thermoplastic, for increased comfort.
• It features an immobilization system with a malleable aluminum core that can be adjusted to the patient’s morphology.
• Its bilateral design allows it to be adapted to both the left and right hands.
• It is indicated for conditions such as tendonitis, painful and inflammatory sequelae, trapeziometacarpal joint instability, sports injuries (such as “skier’s thumb”), and rhizarthrosis of the thumb.

The image depicts a leg-foot-ankle orthosis (KAFO), a medical device designed to stabilize the knee, ankle, and foot.

Its main features include:

Extended Support Structure: It encompasses the foot, ankle, and knee, providing rigid support for alignment and stability of the entire lower limb.

Joints and Locks: Often featuring joints at the knee and ankle, it may include locking mechanisms to prevent involuntary knee flexion, although this can affect natural gait.

Materials: Made from strong and sometimes lightweight materials such as polypropylene or carbon fiber, it is designed for durability and comfort.

Attachment System: It uses adjustable straps (often with buckles or Velcro) to hold the orthosis firmly in place on the leg and foot.

Padding and Comfort: Internal linings or padding, sometimes thermoformed and moisture-wicking, are incorporated to reduce friction and improve comfort, particularly in the calf and shin area.

Specific Features: Depending on the model, it may include features such as a shin relief channel, lateral malleolus support, or energy storage and release properties to facilitate walking.

The Orliman Pediatric Night Splint for Plantar Fasciitis features the following features:

Adjustable flexion straps to control the stretch and adapt it to the child’s needs.
Functions as a progressive positioning splint to prevent equinus foot and muscle shortening, particularly of the plantar flexors.
Applies targeted force to stretch soft tissues, promoting healing and reducing morning discomfort.

Indications and Benefits:
Designed for the treatment of plantar fasciitis, heel pain, foot drop, and Achilles tendon stiffness in children.
Promotes recovery during sleep by maintaining the foot in a neutral or slightly dorsiflexed position.
Reduces morning stiffness and pain by preventing tissue tightening during the night.

The Orliman Textile Night Splint, also known as the Fastitech Night Orthosis, is designed for the nighttime treatment of plantar fasciitis and similar problems.

Its key features include:

Design and Materials:
Made with Space 3D laminated fabric, featuring a terrycloth inner lining and a highly breathable outer mesh.

Reinforced tongue with two stays for added support.

Functionality and Fit:
The orthosis fastens with six straps over pin buckles, ensuring a secure fit.
An adjustable front strap, running from the tip of the tongue to the toes, allows for tension adjustment and dorsiflexion control.
Designed to immobilize the ankle and foot overnight and induce dorsiflexion of the metatarsophalangeal joints to reduce pain associated with inflammation.

Indications:
Primarily used for the treatment of plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and other symptoms of posterior chain muscle stiffness.
Helps increase and/or maintain ankle dorsiflexion range of motion overnight.

The features of the plantar fasciitis night splint presented are as follows:

Specific Design: It is designed to treat plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and heel pain by keeping the foot in slight dorsiflexion during sleep.

Comfort and Breathability: Featuring a lightweight, low-profile shell, it incorporates a soft, breathable foam interior to maximize comfort and prevent heat buildup.
