Custom Orthosis
A custom-made orthosis is a highly specialised device that is manufactured from a cast or mould of the individual client. It is not able to be fitted to another person, as it has been designed and manufactured to meet the specific needs of the individual. Whilst selected health practitioners provide custom made orthoses for either the foot or the upper limb, only orthotist/prosthetists are qualified to fit custom made orthoses for the entire body. Therefore, a clinical assessment and consultation by an orthotist/prosthetist will ensure that your entire body or limb segment is assessed and the full range of orthotic treatment options considered.
