    Pre-fabricated "off-the-shelf" Orthoses

    Pre-fabricated orthoses can provide a quick, convenient and cost-effective solution for many needs. However, they can have a disadvantage in that they are mass-manufactured to fit the "average". Best outcomes are achieved only when the orthosis is fitted by a qualified orthotist and modified to suit the individual client. The Orthotic Centre stocks over 15,000 pre-fabricated orthoses. A policy of non-alignment to specific brands allows the Centre to keep abreast of new developments and to constantly update the product range through worldwide research and clinical evaluation.

    Custom-made Orthoses

    If a client requires a custom-made orthosis, this can be made at the Centre's specialised manufacturing plant in Ellerslie, Auckland. Here a team of highly skilled technicians are equipped to manufacture the most complex of custom-made orthoses and prescription footwear. These include:knee, ankle and foot orthoses (K.O.s/A.F.O.s/K.A.F.O.s)hand and wrist orthoses (W.H.O.s)upper and lower extremity fracture orthosesspinal and cervical orthoses (S.O.s/C.O.s)prescription and orthopaedic footweararch supports (F.O.s).

    Charges

    Costs depend on the service, and in particular the orthosis, provided. Please discuss this with the Clinician who sees you or with reception.

    If an orthosis is needed due to an ACC related injury you may pay for the orthosis yourself and make a claim to ACC (as appropriate) or the Centre can apply to ACC on your behalf. In the latter instance, orthoses are not usually provided until ACC grants funding approval.

    For clients funded through the  Ministry of Health, there may be a part charge for some items. There is no client charge on these items for children aged 16 or younger.
