description Several patients suffering from neuromuscular disorders, trauma-related problems of limbs and congenital deformities require orthotic support. Presently available rehabilitation aids like calipers, braces, and other appliances made of metallic parts have a distinct disadvantage of being heavy and cannot be managed by patients whose muscles are already weakened. Since they have normal intelligence and other faculties, if the physical disability is taken care of, they will be useful members of society. The present paper is an analysis of our efforts to use polypropylene for the fabrication of lower limb orthotic appliances. Over a follow up period of one year with 200 patients fitted with custom made polypropylene orthotics we found very encouraging results.
