Orthotics and Prosthetics

Orthotics and prosthetics are specialized fields in healthcare that focus on enhancing mobility and quality of life for individuals with physical challenges. Orthotics involves designing and fitting supportive devices, like braces or splints, to aid the function of limbs or the spine. Prosthetics, on the other hand, refers to creating artificial limbs to replace missing legs or arms due to injury or congenital conditions. Both disciplines require a tailored approach to meet the unique needs of each patient, enabling improved movement and independence.
