Orthoses come in various types. They can be classified into protective orthoses and stabilizing orthoses based on their functions. According to the body parts they are fitted to, they can be categorized as upper limb orthoses, lower limb orthoses, and spinal orthoses. Depending on the diseases they are used for, they can be further divided into foot orthoses, claw hand orthoses, scoliosis orthoses, etc.

The upstream of the orthosis industry chain is the supply of raw materials such as polyolefins and carbon fiber composites, and the downstream is mainly used in rehabilitation treatment, clinical treatment and other fields, and mainly reaches the end customers through various levels of medical institutions. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of medical reform, high-quality medical resources have gradually developed in a downward trend, and the uneven distribution of medical resources in China has gradually improved. The number of medical institutions has been increasing continuously, providing a good development foundation for orthoses.

Orthoses can help improve the quality of life for the disabled and elderly groups, reduce the burden on families, and are of great significance. China has a large population base, a large number of disabled people, and with the accelerating process of aging, the number of elderly people in China is constantly increasing. Orthoses have a broad consumer market.
