Orthoses are used as a short term or long-term solution for the rehabilitation of a patient. It can be knee, plantar, body and even <a href=\"\/?p=1186\">plagiocephaly helmets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Protheses<\/h2>\n<p>Protheses are used to replace a missing limb.<\/p>\n<h2>A full range of orthoses<\/h2>\n<p>The range of orthopedic devices includes among others:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/?page_id=403\">plantar orthosis;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?page_id=399\">knee orthosis;<\/a><\/li>\n<li>anklet;<\/li>\n<li>ankle foot orthosis;<\/li>\n<li>epicondylitis bracelet;<\/li>\n<li>lumbar or thoracolumbar corset;<\/li>\n<li>cranial orthosis;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?page_id=401\">sports orthosis;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?page_id=391\">support stockings;<\/a><\/li>\n<li>wheelchair;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?page_id=389\">mobility aid.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to design an orthosis?<\/h2>\n<p>To design an orthosis or prosthesis that will meet the patient\u2019s needs, the orthotist-prosthetist will create a biomechanical profile and take impressions of the limb. Those imprints give all the details needed to design a custom orthosis or prosthesis.<\/p>\n<h2>The Evolution of Technology<\/h2>\n<p>Orthotists-prosthetists used to take the patient\u2019s imprint with plaster strips and make the orthosis manually. Now, they are using 3D scan and computer systems to design and manufacture orthoses.<\/p>\n<h2>Orthotists-prosthetists: Multitaskers!<\/h2>\n<p>The work of an orthotist-prosthetist is not limited to designing orthopedic equipment: This healthcare professional takes part in the rehabilitation process, adjusts the devices and informs the patient about the maintenance of such devices.<\/p>\n<h2>Licensed Professionals<\/h2>\n<p>Orthotists-prosthetists must have a license from the Ordre des technologues professionnels du Qu\u00e9bec. They can sell orthoses and prostheses only to patients who have a medical prescription.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, you can consult an orthotist-prosthetist without a prescription, because he has the skills to assess your biomechanics and make recommendations. If you need orthopedic equipment, he will advise you to consult a doctor to get a diagnosis, and if needed, the required prescription.<\/p>\n<h2>Better Safe than Sorry! Consult an orthotist-prosthetist<\/h2>\n<p>If you have foot, knee or hip pain, or if your child shows signs of discomfort while walking or during sport, an orthosis might be the solution.<\/p>\n<p>For advice, do not hesitate to ask one of our professional orthotists-prosthetists. CEO Medic is the most complete orthopedic centre on the North Shore, in Montreal or on the South Shore; at your service since 35 years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/?page_id=385\">Contact us<\/a> for an
