Orthotic services or simply orthotics


Explanation:
This is what they are called in the UK. I use their services myself and need to attend the "Orthotics Department" at my local hospital for my insoles, splints etc.

neutral  philgoddard: Maybe, but you need German references.
2 hrs

disagree  Lirka: orthotics is much broader
