Orthotics refers to the design, fabrication, and use of custom-made devices, known as orthoses, to support, align, or correct musculoskeletal and biomechanical issues in the human body. Orthotic devices are often utilized to address conditions such as foot deformities, gait abnormalities, or injuries. Common types of orthotics include shoe inserts, braces, and splints. Orthotics aims to improve function, alleviate pain, and prevent further complications by providing support or correction to the affected body part. Podiatrists, orthopaedic specialists, and physical therapists collaborate in prescribing and designing orthotic devices based on a thorough assessment of an individual's biomechanics and specific needs. Advancements in materials and technology have enhanced the customization and effectiveness of orthotics, offering tailored solutions for various conditions. Orthotic intervention is often a conservative approach employed before considering surgical options, making it a valuable component of comprehensive musculoskeletal care.
