Orthopedic aids are medical products that help people with musculoskeletal conditions or limitations to maintain or improve their mobility, stability, and quality of life. They are used for injuries, chronic illnesses, after operations, or for physical deformities. The most common orthopedic aids include bandages, orthoses, splints, insoles, crutches, prostheses, and wheelchairs. Depending on the need, they provide support, relieve joints, correct deformities, or enable movement patterns to occur at all. Orthopedic aids are individually fitted to ensure optimal function and fit. Doctors, orthopedic technicians, and therapists work closely together in this process. The correct selection and application of these aids play a decisive role in therapy and rehabilitation and can significantly contribute to independence and active participation in daily life.
