Braceworks specializes in orthopaedic braces for the treatment of neuromuscular-skeletal disabilities
Braceworks designs, fabricates and fits orthopaedic braces for the treatment of acute and chronic neuromuscular-skeletal disabilities. This clinical focus on patient therapy complements our research and product development effort in orthopaedic bracing. New products emerge from the lab and enter the practice. Novel medical devices, assistive equipment and instrumentation are developed in collaboration with health care specialists. More info
In addition to the core clinical practice, Braceworks is actively involved in applied research on assistive devices.
