Orthotic devices are specialized supports designed to improve the function of the feet, legs, or other parts of the body. They can help correct alignment issues, relieve pain, and enhance mobility. Common types include shoe inserts, braces, and splints, which are often used by individuals with conditions like arthritis or diabetes. These devices are typically custom-made or pre-fabricated to fit the user's specific needs. Orthotic devices can be prescribed by healthcare professionals, such as podiatrists or orthopedic surgeons, and are often used in rehabilitation settings to aid recovery and improve overall quality of life.
