Orthotics Improve Comfort and Mobility.

Orthotic interventions are effective in treating many forms of pain, such as those resulting from plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunion deformities, shin splints (pain along the front of the leg), Achilles tendinitis (inflammation of the heel cord), knee pain hip pain low back pain among others as well as optimizing general foot alignment and function. Each pair is carefully designed to fit perfectly to your foot structure to ensure that it performs best and provides comfort.

• Taking a complete assessment of the issue at hand, casting or scanning the leg, and finally making an orthotic device is what brings about custom orthotics.
• They are intended to support the body while correcting biomechanical imbalances and enhancing general alignment and function.
• Therefore, custom orthotics help alleviate foot pains like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, bunions, shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, knee pain, hip pain, and lower back pain.
• They are often used as a solution for addressing biomechanical issues while supporting and aligning the lower limbs.

Orthotics and prostheses help mobility-impaired people. Orthotics and prosthetics increase quality of life for people with special needs, although they have different purposes, applications, and target locations.

Prosthetics: Replacing Limbs

• Prosthetics replace missing body parts.
•  Prosthetics replace missing or non-functional limbs. Individual demands, level of amputation, and functional goals determine the prosthetic device.
• A prosthetic device helps amputees move. Prosthetics are categorised by amputation level and body part. Common prosthetics:

Lower extremity orthotics support the feet, ankles, knees, and hips. These orthotic devices can treat:

• Foot Orthotics: Shoe inserts or orthotic insoles support, align, and cushion the feet. They aid flat feet, plantar fasciitis, foot abnormalities, and post-surgery stability.
• Ankle Orthotics: AFOs support and control ankle motion. They can treat ankle sprains, foot drop, and ankle instability.
• Knee Orthotics: Knee braces provide stability, motion control, and pain relief. They can treat ACL tears, osteoarthritis, and patellofemoral pain syndrome.
• Hip Orthotics: Hip abduction braces and hip immobilisers support and restrict hip movement. Hip dysplasia, dislocation, and surgery can require them.

Upper extremity orthotics support the upper limbs, while lower extremity orthotics support the lower limbs. The orthotic prescription depends on the patient's condition, functional needs, and joint or limb needing support.
