Due to problems with follow-up and reliability of stimulators they did not feel that it was an effective long-term orthosis but were optimistic about the therapeutic benefits.
It then trains the best of those technicians to become lecturers in prosthesis and orthosis.
Iatrogenic injury is also known to occur, with the abducens nerve being the most commonly injured cranial nerve in halo orthosis placement.
A few examples are: powered leg prosthesis for neuromuscularly impaired, ankle-foot orthosis, biological realistic leg prosthesis and forearm prosthesis.
