Orthoses are externally applied devices used to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuro-muscular and skeletal systems; prostheses are externally applied devices used to replace, wholly or in part, an absent or deficient body segment.; Included are, e.g., body-powered and externally powered external orthoses, prostheses, cosmetic prostheses and orthopaedic footwear.; Excluded are endo-prostheses, which are not part of this International Standard.
Orthoses that are designed to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuro-muscular and the skeletal systems of the spine and skull; the device may be custom-fabricated to meet the functional needs of the individual user or prefabricated to meet a particular set of functional requirements; the prefabricated devices may be adjustable to fit an individual user, or they may be ready-to-use so that adjustment is not possible or no adjustment is necessary for any user
Orthoses that encompass whole or part of the sacro-iliac region of the trunk
Orthoses that encompass the whole or part of the lumbar and sacro-iliac regions of the trunk
Orthoses that encompass the whole or part of the thoracic region of the trunk
Orthoses that encompass the whole or part of the thoracic and lumbar regions of the trunk
Orthoses that encompass the whole or part of the thoracic, lumbar and sacro-iliac regions of the trunk
Orthoses that encompass the whole or part of the cervical region, including the atlanto-occipital joint; Included are, e.g., the head/spine joints.
Orthoses that encompass the whole cervical and thoracic regions, including the atlanto-occipital joint; Included are, e.g., the head/spine joints.
Orthoses that encompass the whole cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacro-illiac regions, including the atlanto-occipital joint; Included are, e.g., the head/spine joints.
Orthoses used as components of spinal orthoses to allow or control motion of the joints of the spine
Interface components of orthoses are those in direct contact with the user; they transmit the forces between the orthosis and the user which result from its function and may retain the orthosis in place. Included are, e.g. shells, pads, straps.
Structural components of orthoses connect the articulating and interface components and maintain the alignment of the orthosis. Included are, e.g. uprights, shells.
Finishing components are the means of providing shape, colour and texture to orthoses. Included are, e.g. fillers, covers, sleeves.
Orthoses, worn in the mouth, used to permit changes in the position of the lower mandible relative to the upper jaw. Included are, e.g. mandibular advancement splints (MAS).
