Frequently Asked Questions

An orthosis is an external medical device designed to correct structural changes in the neuromuscular and skeletal systems. It is intended to correct, immobilize, activate, or relieve pressure on an injured joint or limb. These include corsets, special footwear, insoles, and devices for the upper and lower limbs. Orthoses are made based on measurements taken from the limb’s contour to ensure maximum functionality and effectiveness. Nowadays, for plastic orthoses, measurements are taken using a plaster mold of the body part. Orthoses are mostly used by patients diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP), spinal cord injuries, stem cell disorders, congenital orthopedic issues of the upper and lower limbs, and spinal problems (such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis). Our center’s specialists, being among the best in the field and having over 20 years of professional experience, produce orthoses according to individual measurements and from high-quality materials. This ensures that our clients achieve the most effective results possible. For this reason, since 1997, the “Ortez” Center has been considered one of the leading institutions in the region in this field.

Unlike the traditional ankle-foot orthosis (AFO), which is more rigid, the dynamic ankle-foot orthosis (DAFO) is thinner, more flexible, and fully encloses the foot, providing greater wearing comfort and better foot alignment.

Orthoses are made within 10–14 days, but carbon orthoses may take up to one month to produce. Insoles are ready in 7–10 days. Thanks to the innovative CADCAM technology, the production time for medical corsets has been reduced threefold now they are ready in 3 weeks to one month. Prostheses are made starting from 2 weeks.

Yes, our center has a number of devices that you can obtain through government orders.

CADCAM is a technology that uses digital design and manufacturing processes to create medical corsets, replacing traditional plaster-based measurement methods.
