Orthotics

Orthotics is the science and practice of assessing, measuring, and fitting of orthoses to assist weakened joints, realign joints, to support and reduce pain. The word orthotist comes from the latin root ‘Ortho’ which means to straighten.  Orthotists look after people whose body doesn’t work properly. 

They may have a genetic condition, arthritis or recently had an injury which has resulted in a fracture to a bone.  Orthotists may provide an orthosis which can help someone walk better, realign their body part to reduce force or allow an injury to heal. Prosthetist/ orthotist are the smallest allied health professional group.  Currently there are 1028 registered to work in the UK.

The discipline covers prosthetist and orthotist and although some clinicians dual practice the majority focus on one speciality.  Orthotists often work within hospitals or an outpatient department and can see babies from a couple of days old to adults in the 100s.  The workload is varied and fast paced within clinic.
