Braces and supports are orthopedic equipment which are used externally for holding, aligning, correcting and supporting certain parts of the body while healing from an injury. They are manufactured using specialized materials with intelligent designs that offer intense targeted support to the knee, spine, foot, ankle, upper elbow, shoulder, hip and other body parts. Braces and supports also aid in safeguarding joints after surgeries and offer a sense of mobility to the patients suffering from musculoskeletal problems.

Global Orthopedic Braces and Supports Market Drivers:

In comparison with invasive treatments, braces and supports are less painful, assist in quick recovery and reduce the incidences of post-surgical complications. On account of these factors, orthopedic braces and supports are preferred by patients worldwide.
Nowadays, consumers spend a significant part of their day in front of PCs, TVs and smart devices which result in the development of minor and major musculoskeletal deformities and dysfunctions. As a result, the demand for braces and supports is proliferating at a healthy rate.
The geriatric population is at a relatively higher risk of developing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, and other mobility issues. Therefore, the growing elderly population is also contributing to the sales of braces and supports across the globe.
Manufacturers are developing pliable braces with a simplified user-interface, considering the requirements of consumers. They are also incorporating Velcro instead of laces to enable easy application and pulley systems in lumbar supports to allow easy customization.
Technological advancements have led to significant improvements in modeling and material technology and increased flexibility, contouring, and utilization of low-weight materials. Innovations have also led to the incorporation of advanced data sensors and synchronization systems.
