RAMO is an acronym for Recuperação Assistida por Modificação órtesica. It is a Portuguese term which translates to "Assisted Recovery through Orthotic Modification" in English. RAMO is a specialized medical approach that combines assistive devices, specifically orthotics, with rehabilitation techniques to enhance the recovery process of patients with mobility impairments or disabilities.
RAMO aims to improve the quality of life of individuals with physical limitations by utilizing orthotic modifications tailored to their specific needs. Orthotic devices, such as braces or splints, are utilized to provide stability, support, and alignment to the affected body part, facilitating movement and reducing pain. These orthoses are custom-made to fit the patient's body and condition, ensuring maximum effectiveness and comfort.
In conjunction with the use of orthotic devices, RAMO involves a comprehensive rehabilitation program. This program encompasses exercises, therapies, and interventions to target the specific impairments and promote recovery. These interventions can consist of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other relevant modalities designed to enhance mobility, strength, flexibility, and coordination.
The integration of orthotics and rehabilitation techniques in RAMO helps individuals regain functional abilities, improve their independence, and enhance their overall well-being. By combining orthotic support with targeted rehab interventions, RAMO provides a holistic approach to promote recovery and reintegration into daily activities for individuals with mobility impairments or disabilities.
