An orthotist provides care to patients with congenital and/or traumatic disabling
conditions of the musculoskeletal structure of the body by evaluating, designing,
fabricating, fitting, and aligning “braces” known as orthoses. At the request of, and
in conjunction with physicians, the orthotist assists in formulating prescriptions for
orthoses and examines and evaluates the patients’ orthotic needs in relation to
their functional loss. In providing an orthosis, the orthotist is responsible for
formulating its design and selecting materials and components; making all
necessary cast, measurements, model modifications, and layouts; performing
fittings, including static and dynamic alignments; evaluating the orthosis on the
patient; instructing the patient in its use; and maintaining patient records; all in
conformity with the prescription. The orthotist is expected to keep abreast of new
developments concerning orthotic patient care.
