Precautions to Take for Custom Orthotic Braces

Has a surgery compromised your mobility? Looking to improve the quality of your life? Consult a specialist and get custom orthotic braces. These external devices sometimes address long term or chronic conditions, while sometimes they are used temporarily to provide support to a weakened part of your body after surgery or an injury.

Custom Orthotic Braces

In addition to providing stability and support, they

  • replace or improve functionality
  • and promote healing

There are multiple types of custom orthotic braces, depending on various factors like, the part of your body it will support (eg. ankle, foot, knee, back, spine etc.), the make of the product, the exact function it is intended to perform, etc.

Remember, braces should be worn only after being prescribed by a doctor. Once you start wearing one, you need to take care of yourself and the orthotic device to get the best results and also ensure its longevity.

  1. Remove the brace if there is abnormal redness on your skin or blisters/sores.
  2. Protect the braces from excessive moisture
  3. Check the brace for
    1. Loose strap attachments
    2. Position of the screws
    3. Cracks, worn areas, sharp edges
  4. Make sure the brace is clean. Use soap and water to wash it. However, do not immerse the brace completely in water
