Orthopedic technology
When is orthopedic technology used?
Orthopedic technology is used when body parts are weakened, malformed, injured, or amputated and need to be stabilized or replaced externally. Typical areas of application include joint misalignments, ligament instabilities, osteoarthritis, neurological paralysis, diabetic foot problems, conditions after bone fractures, as well as arm‑ or leg amputations.
Advantages of orthopaedic-technical care
- Improvement of stability and gait, reduced risk of falls and incorrect loading.
- Pain relief by relieving overstrained joints, tendons, and muscles.
- Promotion of mobility and independence in everyday life, often also faster Rehabilitation after operations or injuries.
- Individual customization to foot shape, body statics, occupation, sport, and footwear for high wearing comfort.
What types of orthopedic technology are there?
- Prosthetics: Artificial replacement parts for missing limbs (e.g., arm and leg prostheses) to restore standing, gait, and grasping function.
- Orthotics: Orthoses, bandages, and corsets for stabilization, guidance, correction, or immobilization of joints, the spine and extremities.
- Insole and shoe technology: Orthopedic insoles, shoe modifications, and custom-made shoes to correct foot deformities and relieve pressure.
- Rehab and special technology: Wheelchair and seating shell fittings, special positioning and walking aids for patients with complex impairments.
