Sometimes it is a portion of the body like the spine/trunk or feet. Orthotics is a head-to-toe service with numerous options to treat each diagnosis.
Common devices utilized today would be an Ankle-Foot-Orthoses (AFO). They can be used in a variety of applications including after a stroke to help your foot clear the ground when you walk, also post-operatively to stabilize the ankle and prevent deformity during recovery.
