Central Fabrication Information for the Perfect Response Orthotic®

Product Overview

The Perfect Response Orthotic® (PRO) is a Neuro-IFRAHÒ Orthotic invented by Waleed Al-Oboudi, as an adjunct to the Neuro-IFRAHÒ Approach by Waleed Al-Oboudi. The Neuro-IFRAHÒ Approach is taught throughout the United States and internationally.

·         This orthotic is loaded with unique features and options to get a response of more normal movement in gait.  These features are unmatched in any orthotic.

·         A unique feature of the PRO is the 2 layer foot bed consisting of a thin pliable layer that is in 4 segments corresponding to the hindfoot, midfoot, and 2 segments devoted to the forefoot.  One of the forefoot segments allows for toe extension. 

·         Options for various materials are placed between these two layers to encourage normal foot movements and discourage abnormal or undesired movements.  All of this is done through pliable material made in various strengths to define the parameters and assist with movements individualized to the patient's needs.

• In some cases a slight shoe lift may be needed for the non affected side to account for the material thickness of the brace.

• The recommended shoe is New Balance model 926.  This model comes in different widths and has ample space in the toe box, accommodating for the toe lift built into the brace

ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

 

After we have contacted you and have set you up as a provider for the PRO, follow the instructions below to place your first order.

 

• Cast your patient according to the specifications in the video you received.  Then fill out one of our Order Forms in its entirety.  It is important to remember that the standard option will be provided when no option is selected.   Completing the order with the standard option(s) will, in most cases, result in a good fit without a delay.  In the case of missing cast correction/position of function information, however, a wrong assumption that the plaster positive or cast can be corrected may result in problems.  To remind you of the importance of this information, we have highlighted the Cast Correction – Position of Function section.  If this section is not completed, we will attempt to contact you in order to clarify your requirements, which most likely will delay your order.

 

• A box is provided for you to write in any request for features or options not available on the Order Form.   On the bottom right side of the Order Form, indicate any anatomical irregularities and/or measurements that may help us in fabricating the brace, or any other requests for information.   You may also call our office at (909) 337-3449 to discuss any questions or concerns, or e-mail us at kinemedicconcept@aol.com.

TURNAROUND TIME

Some factors that may cause a delay include:

• ·         An order requiring special attention due to unusual patient circumstances

• ·         An incomplete Order Form

• ·         Poor cast quality

• ·         A cast that needs correction

• ·         Payment questions/approval

To request a reduced turnaround time, you may request a rush order by calling our office.  We will give you an idea of how quickly we may be able to finish the order, and discuss upgrading the shipping to overnight delivery, and what those additional costs will be.

WARRANTY

 

Each PRO is fabricated from an acceptable cast of the patient’s foot, and is guaranteed for fit, materials and workmanship for 90 days beginning 14 days after the date of shipment*.  During that period, we will adjust, repair or replace the product if a problem exists.  Abuse or undue rough wear and tear will void the warranty.  This includes not wearing a shoe over the brace except during therapy times, and/or destruction from outside sources such as heat, cold, impact or undue abrasion beyond normal wear and tear.  Patients should communicate with their practitioner about concerns regarding fit or workmanship.  This will enhance our ability to resolve any issues you are experiencing as efficiently and quickly as possible.

*the 90 day warranty period is intended to provide ample time for brace fitting and troubleshooting.  It is recommended that this fitting occur within 2 weeks following receipt of the brace.
