Other terminology used to describe orthoses includes splints, braces, and supports. Orthoses can be custom-made, or can be ordered ‘off the shelf’ as a prefabricated device, and can be fabricated from a variety of materials depending on the need for external support. The practice of orthotics can include selecting, prescribing, designing, fabricating, fitting, applying, and evaluating orthoses to achieve specific rehabilitation goals. This chapter covers various types of orthoses by body part and function, as well as recent advances in orthotics.","PeriodicalId":197491,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Handbook of Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131490080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals with SCI have great capacity to maintain a good quality of life. Helping to make this a reality is one of the multiple challenges that SCI poses to the multidisciplinary team. Following inpatient rehabilitation, the key to independence and participation in previous life roles is access to good-quality information.
