Prosthetics and Orthotics

Prosthetics and orthotics are specialized fields of healthcare focused on enhancing mobility and functionality for individuals with physical challenges. Prosthetics involve the design and fitting of artificial limbs for those who have lost a body part, allowing them to regain physical abilities. Orthotics, on the other hand, pertains to supportive devices like braces or splints that help correct or improve the function of existing body parts, often due to injury, deformity, or weakness. Both fields aim to improve quality of life through tailored solutions, enabling better movement and independence for patients.
