- Abstract
The supply of appropriate orthoses is one of the basic interventions in physical and rehabilitation medicine. Orthoses are needed by people with various impairments of nervous-system, muscular or skeletal body functions, or movement-related impairments of body functions and structures. By reviewing recent literature and from daily clinical practice, numerous problems arise in the provision of appropriate orthoses at the secondary level. In Slovenia, we should strive to provide the patients with appropriate orthoses by establishing teamwork in the hospitals, where a prosthetics and orthotics engineer would be involved in the prescription and fitting of orthoses. Only in this way all patients in Slovenian hospitals would receive the same treatment and would receive the prescription of appropriate orthoses. This point is illustrated by a case study.
