Where to find your sports orthoses ?

Orthoses, unlike prostheses, are not there to replace a limb, an organ or a joint. We often know better about prostheses: hearing aids (which compensate for hearing loss), knee and hip prostheses, dental prostheses or even all the impressive ones that science continues to develop to replace hands or legs, thanks to 3D technology. But do you know what orthoses are, and in particular sports orthotics ? In which case to use them, what benefit they can have ? And above all, where to find them ?

What’do’a sports brace ?

Let’s start at the beginning: an orthosis is a device that supports, helps or protects a part of your body – it can be a limb, such as a joint. An orthosis is always an external device to your body (unlike certain prostheses that will be established to you, such as that of the knee). Sports orthotics are simply the ones we wear when we play sports. We can resort to an orthosis For three main reasons:

• After an accident or an injury, to immobilize the part of the body concerned: a splint to protect a fractured elbow, for example, or a cervical necklace in the event of torticollis.
• To support a member who has been damaged and weakened in the past: a knee whose ligaments have been damaged could be protected by a kneerer, a compression sleeve can help cure the muscle tear of a calf as to prevent the appearance new injury.
• To compensate for significant stress, particularly in the context of intensive sports practice, and to prevent the risk of the appearance of pathologies. Think for example of all the soles that prevent runners from damaging their knees !
