Indications and Clinical Pictures

The term indication (lat. indicare = to indicate) refers to the reason for using a therapeutic or diagnostic measure that is used to treat a specific clinical picture. A clinical picture includes all typical features that occur in connection with a disease.

The development of the indication includes the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of a disease. The treatment with an orthosis is such a therapeutic measure. Based on the indication, the prescription of an orthosis therefore is a recommendation for the patient. For example, an indication could be as follows: Due to a stroke, there is a clinical picture involving paralysis (paresis) of the calf muscles (m. gastrocnemius). To regain safety during stance and gait, an orthosis is prescribed to compensate for the functional deviations.
