PRITHAM CH; FILLAUER CE
ORTHOT PROSTH , 1985, vol. 39, n° 1, p. 62-69 Doc n°: 20953 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : EC251 - CONFECTION - ORTHESE DE MEMBRE INFÉRIEUR , DE331 - LUXATION CONGENITALE The general features of LCPD and aspects of its orthotic management have been discussed. The contemporary period in the orthotic treatment of the disease can be said to have begun with the promulgation of the containment theory. Devices for the exploitation of this theory have evolved from the original Petrie casts of the 1950's to the Scottish Rite Orthosis of the 1970's. While a variety of different orthotic designs are used to treat LCPD, in general it would seem that the Scottish Rite Orthosis affords satisfactory correction, while still receiving better patient acceptance than some of the other designs.
