Orthoses and prostheses include a wide range of devices and strategies for correcting and alleviating dysfunction and disability. Features in these areas of technology include continuing evolution of new devices, further development of well-established approaches, a need for critical assessment, requirements for support from technical and health care workers, and the need to identify funding to achieve efficient programs.
