The integration of orthotics and prosthetics in rehabilitation is enhancing mobility and functional independence for individuals with limb loss, neuromuscular disorders, and musculoskeletal impairments. Modern prosthetics, incorporating microprocessor-controlled joints and myoelectric sensors, provide improved movement efficiency and adaptability. Orthotic advancements, such as dynamic ankle-foot orthoses and spinal bracing systems, offer better postural support and gait stabilization. Additionally, 3D printing technology is revolutionizing the field by enabling custom-fitted and cost-effective solutions. Rehabilitation programs emphasize patient training in prosthetic use, balance restoration, and strengthening exercises to maximize functionality. By combining engineering innovations with rehabilitation strategies, individuals regain confidence in movement, leading to improved daily performance and quality of life.
