Orthotics
Orthoses are non-invasive devices that are worn externally by the patient to support or protect an area of the body. They are designed to improve function and/or reduce pain and discomfort. PACE has experienced orthotic clinicians who are experts in the assessment, fitting and supply of orthotic equipment. We regularly provide lower and upper limb braces, spinal braces, bespoke or adapted footwear and foot orthoses.
Many of our orthotic clients have suffered injuries to their feet and appropriate orthoses and adaptations of their footwear can sometimes make an enormous difference to their mobility and quality of life.
Especially lower limb orthotics is developing quickly at this time. We always aim to stay abreast of developments and work closely with leading manufacturers to source and develop the best technology. Our multi-disciplinary team is available where necessary to be part of a solution that goes beyond just the provision of the orthosis itself.
All the prosthetists at PACE are registered with the Health Professions Council. See www.hpc-uk.org for further information.
