Orthotics and Prosthetics Overview by ankur is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Orthotics and prosthetics are devices used to support or replace limbs. Orthotics are used for prevention and correction of deformities, pain relief, weight relief, and facilitating mobilization. Prosthetics restore function and shape by replacing missing limbs. An ideal orthotic or prosthetic is functional, fits well, is light, easy to use, cosmetically acceptable, and can be easily maintained or repaired locally.
