This short film will take you through the process of making a spinal brace for a patient with scoliosis. With exclusive access to the on-site orthotics workshop at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, you can see the whole process - from when the patient is first cast, through the manufacture and shaping and on to the final fitting.
The Orthotics Department at RNOH is supported by a team of experienced orthotists and orthoses are manufactured on site in the centre's workshops. We specialise in assessing and managing complex problems and work with other members of the multi-disciplinary team, especially orthopaedic surgeons and physiotherapists.
