Orthopedic aids are devices designed to support, align, or improve the function of the musculoskeletal system. They are commonly used to assist individuals with injuries, disabilities, or conditions affecting bones, joints, and muscles. Examples include braces, splints, and crutches, which help in mobility and stability. These aids can be custom-made or off-the-shelf products, depending on the user's needs. They are often recommended by healthcare professionals, such as orthopedic surgeons or physical therapists, to enhance recovery and improve quality of life. Proper use of orthopedic aids can lead to better outcomes in rehabilitation and daily activities.
