Orthoses and splints

Orthoses are custom-made orthopedic devices that support or stabilize specific areas of the body. They play a crucial role in managing medical conditions, injuries, and congenital abnormalities, particularly for children and adolescents. Orthoses improve range of motion and mobility, and provide support for neurological conditions or congenital malformations such as spina bifida. They also stabilize affected body parts following injuries or surgeries. There are various types for the spine, arms, and legs, as well as specialized ones for feet or hips in cases of congenital malformations. Custom-fitted to ensure an optimal fit and functionality, they should be lightweight and flexible. A child-friendly design helps ensure that children are happy to wear their orthoses and feel a sense of ownership toward them.
