Braces and Supports and Prosthetic Devices - US Analysis and Market Forecasts Summary The global
orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) market, which includes braces and supports and prosthetic devices, is
an expansive market covering a broad range of indications. Braces and supports, external devices that
provide support to joints and weakened musculoskeletal groups to facilitate function and healing, are
utilized prominently in osteoarthritis management; fracture, sprain, strain, and tear treatment; and
prophylactic sports use. For this report, prosthesis use is focused on a single indication: extremity
amputation. The growing global aging population and subsequent rise in the prevalence of diseases that
primarily affect the elderly, including diabetes, vascular disease, and osteoarthritis, as well as the
increase in adoption of braces and supports for non-invasive treatment, particularly in fracture
management and post-operative rehabilitation, are expected to drive growth in the O&P market.
Emerging O&P technologies focus on improving patient comfort and functionality to facilitate increased
product adoption. This report examines O&P device adoption and challenges faced by current
competitors in the US. The analysis also identifies unmet needs in the market, specifies the major drivers
and barriers to device adoption, and provides an understanding of physician perception and outlook
with an overall emphasis on current and future industry trends in the US. *This is an on-demand report
