It’s commonly used to control joint alignment and motion for patients with conditions such as muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, spinal cord injury, and more.
Orthotics is a specialized medical field dedicated to designing and applying orthosis. Our expert team includes orthotists who craft orthosis and splints based on patient measurements. They are readily available to create new orthosis and adjust existing ones to ensure optimal support and functionality for our patients.
