ASSISTIVE PRODUCTS ATTACHED TO THE BODY FOR SUPPORTING NEUROMUSCULOSKELETAL OR MOVEMENT RELATED FUNCTIONS (ORTHOSES) AND REPLACING ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES (PROSTHESES)

Orthoses are externally applied devices used to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromusculoskeletal 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, orthopaedic footwear. Excluded are endo-prostheses, which are not part of this International Standard.

06.03
Spinal and cranial orthoses

Orthoses that are designed to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromusculoskeletal 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

06.03.03
Sacro-iliac orthoses

Orthoses that encompass whole or part of the sacro-iliac region of the trunk

06.03.06
Lumbo-sacral orthoses

Orthoses that encompass the whole or part of the lumbar and sacro-iliac regions of the trunk

06.03.07
Thoracic orthoses

Orthoses that encompass the whole or part of the thoracic region of the trunk

06.03.08
Thoraco-lumbar orthoses

Orthoses that encompass the whole or part of the thoracic and lumbar regions of the trunk

06.03.09
Thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthoses

Orthoses that encompass the whole or part of the thoracic, lumbar and sacro-iliac regions of the trunk

06.03.12
Cervical orthoses

Orthoses that encompass the whole or part of the cervical region, including the atlanto-occipital joint

06.03.15
Cervico-thoracic orthoses

Orthoses that encompass the whole cervical and thoracic regions, including the atlanto-occipital joint

06.03.18
Cervico-thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthoses

Orthoses that encompass the whole cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacro-illiac regions, including the atlanto-occipital joint

06.03.21
Cranial orthoses

Orthoses that encompass the skull (cranium)

06.03.27
Articulating components for spinal orthoses

Articulating components of orthoses allow or control the motions of anatomical joints of the spine. Included are, e.g joints for spinal orthoses.

06.03.30
Interface components for spinal and cranial orthoses

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.

06.03.33
Structural components for spinal and cranial orthoses

Structural components of orthoses connect the articulating and interface components and maintain the alignment of the orthosis. Included are, e.g. uprights, shells.

06.03.36
Finishing (cosmetic) components for spinal and cranial orthoses

Cosmetic components are the means of providing shape, colour and texture to orthoses. Included are, e.g. fillers, covers, sleeves.

06.03.39
Mandibular advancement devices

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).
