What adaptation can be made for patients with poor cognitive function regarding orthotic wear?

Patients with poor cognitive function often struggle with multi-step processes, which can make the use of orthotics challenging. Simplifying the donning and doffing process directly addresses these difficulties. A more straightforward procedure not only enhances the patient's ability to put on and take off their orthotics independently but also increases compliance with wearing the device as prescribed.

By making the process easier, you reduce the cognitive load on the patient, allowing them to manage their orthotic devices more effectively. This adaptation can also lead to improved outcomes, as consistent use of orthotics is crucial for achieving the desired therapeutic impact.
