Orthosis and Prothesis from Bench to Real Life
This special issue belongs to the section "Health Care Sciences & Services".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Healthcare managers, scientific boards, and caregiver associations are developing an ever-greater awareness of disability and disability-related “need”. The world of orthosis and prosthesis is constantly evolving as a result of technological innovation and the different solutions offered by scientific research. Today it is possible to pursue the improvement of quality of life and autonomy in a way that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. There is a wider ongoing discussion about the independent living of the person with disabilities: help is a right of the citizen but also an opportunity for their life, which is a precious asset. For these reasons it is necessary to prescribe orthosis and prosthesis competently, and attribute them appropriately. The main objective of this Special Issue is to present new solutions and new technical productions of orthosis and prosthesis, and to discuss new integrated approaches to disabilities in Europe and worldwide.
