Orthoses are medical devices designed to provide support, alignment, or correction to various parts of the body. They are especially important for patients with musculoskeletal conditions or injuries. Orthoses are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other medical settings to address issues like joint instability, postural problems, or rehabilitation after surgery. They can be used on various body parts, such as the spine, knees, ankles, and wrists. Orthoses promote proper alignment, reduce pain, and aid in the healing process by providing stability and mobility during recovery. These devices are a crucial part of treatment to ensure optimal outcomes for patients.
