Prosthetics and orthotics are an expanding and dynamic allied medical specialty. Orthotics involve the application of specialized artificial limbs (osteopathy) to improve the mobility and function of patients with limb damage caused by injury, surgery, or disease. The prosthesis has to be a specially designed device that is capable of bearing the specific functional requirements of the patient. It also has to be comfortable for the patient, and it should be free from mechanical or chemical irritations.

The word 'osteopathy' is derived from the Greek words 'ole', which means joint and 'akos', which means shape or form. Osteopaths are experts in the field of body part orthopedics. They examine the structure and function of bones and joints, determining the nature and cause of problems and recommending corrective measures. They take into consideration the patient's age, physical condition, general health, the type of injury, and the results of pathological examination. They may prescribe exercises or encourage the patient to perform certain activities that promote normal joint motion.

Some of the most common prosthetic devices used by orthopedic specialists include upper extremity braces, crutches, cane, manual wheelchairs, artificial legs, artificial hips, artificial hands, and artificial feet. There are several kinds of prosthetics, each designed to address the specific needs of a patient. Body builders, for example, often need support to lift their weights. A low profile electric brace is an essential piece of equipment for body builders. Similarly, a swivel chair with adjustable height can be used to provide support to people suffering from severe back pain.

The process of fitting prosthetics and orthotics begins with the consultation of a professional and skilled prosthetist. The orthodontist will conduct a complete assessment of your mouth, jaw, and teeth to determine the level of porosity and strength required for your prosthetics. The dentist will also look at the structures around the prosthetic to evaluate whether they are suitable.

Today, there are a number of different prosthetic devices available to provide greater comfort and functionality. These include upper, lower, and custom-fit prosthetics. There are also devices that can be used to correct abnormalities in gait, knee extension, range of motion, and muscle strenght
