In this work its authors demonstrated use of elastic orthoses made of Thermosil silicone material in rehabilitation of children with a pathological setting of extremities owing to orthopedic-neurological diseases. Variants of designs of Thermosil orthoses for different types of pathologies are given. The article contains results of clinical and biomechanical examinations of patients with neurological diseases; these examinations revealed improvements in the weight-bearing capacity and stability of impaired extremities and in the walking pattern, as well as correction of a pathological setting of extremities, decrease of spasticity of muscles in the upper and lower extremities and performance of the supporting function in case of weakened muscles.
