Hip/knee/ankle/foot orthoses are customizable or prefabricated external supports designed to stabilize, realign, or protect joints and limbs in the lower body. Clinically, they help manage conditions like arthritis, post-surgical recovery, or mobility impairments by reducing strain, correcting gait, or preventing deformities.
These devices are typically reusable and regulated as medical orthotics, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They may require professional fitting or prescription, depending on the intended use and structural complexity. Always check local regulations for compliance and distribution requirements.
