Prosthetic devices are devices (other than dental) that replace all or part of a body part or its function. While most people think of missing limb prosthetics, devices like pacemakers are also considered prosthetics.
Orthotic devices support a weak or deformed body part (as with special shoe or heel inserts) and restrict or eliminate motion in a diseased or injured part of the body (such as with a knee, back, or neck brace).
