Braces (orthotics) for sports and daily use

 An orthosis is defined as an orthopedic device intended to support a deficient locomotor function. Sports orthotics can protect a knee, ankle, shoulder, foot or your back. They can also be placed around the joint or in a skate, ski boot, running or basketball shoe.

What is the difference between an orthosis and a prosthesis?

The daily use of an orthosis can also support a joint or foot following a car accident, fracture, surgery or in the presence of persistent pain. The prosthesis is the replacement of a joint by surgery. This is put in place by your orthopedic surgeon in the presence of severe joint degeneration (total or partial knee or hip prosthesis).
Consulting services in orthotics are available at the Montreal and Saint-Lambert clinics. We also have an orthopedic surgeon with expertise in arthrosis and joint replacements that can be seen upon referral.
