The Orthotics department at Milton Keynes University Hospital supports patients of all ages, from our newborn babies through to our elderly population.

The core brief of the department is to choose, design and prescribe orthotic devices to support, control and improve the way the patient’s body or body segment works and to stop the symptoms that are being experienced. Patients are provided with their orthotic prescriptions after being visually assessed and measured by either a simple tape measure, negative plaster casting or 3D image scanning.

Our team work with patients with a wide variety of diagnosis, from heel pain to head protection for patients on the Autistic spectrum. Our experts see patients with pre or post-surgery concerns, Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome, Stroke, Motor Neurone Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid and Osteo Arthritis and spinal concerns.
