Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is Orthotics?
A: Orthotics is a specialist medical discipline which focuses on design, production, prescription and use of orthoses Orthoses are devices which are applied externally to any part of the body in order to: - prevent or correct deformity -promote or improve function of the affected area - stabilize a joint or joints - reduce pain - reduce the risk of injury A clinician who practices within the field of orthotics is called an Orthotist. Orthotists are state registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). - Q: Why see an orthotist?
A: An orthotic assessment encompasses the whole of the musculoskeletal system and an orthotist can provide a wide range of Orthotic devices, ranging from relatively simple to extremely complex devices. When assessing a patient with a view to prescribing an orthosis a full body biomechanical assessment is vital in order to ensure the correct prescription. For example when a patient presents with knee pain the root of the problem may be poor foot and ankle positioning / biomechanics. Or when a patient complains of lower back pain the problem may be a leg length discrepancy and a simple heel raise may resolve the issue eliminating the need for any further intervention.
