Orthotics  Functional foot orthotics are devices that are
designed to improve or restore biomechanical function of the
feet. Technically, the term "orthotics" is not the proper term
to describe corrective mechanical foot devices. Orthotics
(Greek: Ορθός, ortho, "to straighten" or "align") is actually a
specialty within the medical field concerned with the design,
manufacture and application of orthoses. An orthosis (plural:
orthoses) is an orthopedic device that supports or corrects the
function of a limb or the torso.  Therefore the proper term for
the devices is actually orthoses (singular: orthosis). Because
it is easier to pronounce the word orthotic than it is orthosis
or orthoses, the term orthotic is most commonly used and
recognized.  Polypropylene Functional Orthotic  Polypropylene
