Orthopaedic aids

Orthopaedic, or rehabilitation, aids are devices that allow a faster recovery after an injury. A walking stick, a crutch, a walking frame and a wheelchair are orthopaedic aids that we use for getting around. There are many other orthopaedic aids that we use in rehabilitation. For the spine, they are used to reduce pain, protect tissue and limit unnecessary and harmful movements during the rehabilitation process. Such aids are used only for a certain period to protect tissues or organs, while in the active phase we reduce the use of orthopaedic aids. We use orthopaedic aids for every joint and region of the body. Selecting, fitting and checking rehabilitation aids is a complex process that requires interaction between doctor and patient. At Faktor Zdravlje Polyclinic, we work with a number of renowned companies to select, fit and monitor the function of individually made orthopaedic aids. Orthopaedic aids are used in various groups of conditions, such as post-traumatic and postoperative conditions and developmental and congenital anomalies.
