Global Orthoses and Supports Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

By definition, supports and orthoses are medical devices that support and protect your locomotor system. They are generally prescribed by a doctor to treat injuries and illnesses of the locomotor system or supporting structures. They support the healing process and improve mobility in people with physical disabilities. Orthoses aim to stabilize, immobilize, and relieve strain on the affected joints. They also help people to perform movements correctly. This prevents or counteracts malpositions or excessive strain on a certain area and ensures that limb mobility is corrected. In the case of permanent physical disabilities, an orthosis is intended to help maintain functionality in the affected body area as well as prevent or relieve pain.

Unlike orthoses, supports are generally made of flexible fabrics combined with pads (elastic inserts integrated into the support). In most cases, supports are used to stabilise joints. First, the flexible fabric exerts a certain amount of pressure on the affected body part, which in turn stimulates muscle receptors. The integrated pads also massage the joint area, which helps to reduce oedema, bruising and haematoma. As with orthoses, supports should be used only after a thorough examination by a doctor.

In general, an orthosis is made of a sturdy, rigid material and includes functional elements such as straps, stirrups, joints or rods. Depending on the requirement, they can be used to immobilise (prevent movement), mobilise, relieve or stabilise a certain area of the body, or to correct malpositions in limbs and joints. In other words, an orthosis can be used either to completely immobilise the affected part of the body or to mobilise it in a controlled manner. Orthoses can also be used to correct the position or movement of a limb. In addition, there are special neuro-orthoses that can replace missing or impaired body functions.
