The multidurometer material blends softer materials for increased comfort over a rigid material to maintain control and alignment. These most challenging patients led to the development of the Fuzion systems. Either condition can limit the acceptance or ability to acclimate to an orthosis. Patients with hyperalgesia experience an increased or exaggerated response to discomfort or a painful stimulus. With allodynia, the patient experiences a painful response to what would normally be considered an innocuous stimulus. Symptoms such as hyperalgesia, allodynia and hyperpathia are found in many different diagnoses (E.g., diabetes, peripheral neuropathies, Guillian-Barre, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, etc.). Sensory integration dysfunctions are often among the most difficult to address, especially with complex patient profiles and cognitive limitations. Patients often experience heightened sensitivities to touch, pressure, movement and/or temperature. Improve quality of life for patients and caregivers.Decrease progression of deformities and further complications.Manage sensorimotor and proprioceptive input.Compression may help to suppress spastic responses.
