Orthotics is a service that provides devices called orthoses (also called braces and splints). These are given to help to prevent, correct or accommodate a deformity and/or improve function. This can be as a result of an injury, disorder or due to the way our bodies alter as we get older.
Orthoses fall into one of the following groups:
- Shoes and insoles
- Calipers and splints
- Knee braces
- Back supports
- Wrist braces
- Compression Stockings
- Collars
- Hip supports
- Shoulder supports
- Ankle supports
