ortézisé

Ortezise is a term that refers to the process of using orthopedic devices, commonly known as orthoses, to support, align, or correct a body part. These devices are typically external and are designed to assist with a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Orthoses can be made from a range of materials, including plastic, metal, leather, and fabric, and are often custom-made to fit an individual's specific needs.

The primary purpose of an ortesis is to improve function, reduce pain, or prevent further injury. This can be achieved by providing stability to a weakened joint, correcting a deformity, compensating for muscle weakness, or offloading pressure from a painful area. Examples of orthoses include braces for the spine, knee, ankle, or wrist, as well as prosthetic limbs.

The application of ortesise involves a careful assessment by a healthcare professional, such as an orthotist or a physical therapist. They determine the type of orthosis required, its design, and how it should be fitted and used. Patients are then educated on how to wear, maintain, and care for their orthosis to ensure its effectiveness and longevity. Regular follow-up appointments are often necessary to adjust the device as the patient's condition changes or to monitor its performance.
