Just taking a poll. How many of you are bothered by the massive inapproprate use of the term
orthotic to describe an orthosis. The last time I checked my text books I could not find an
orthotic anywhere. Now I have recently begun to find PT and Dr's using the term prosthetic to
describe an artifical limb. If you are like me I find myself correcting this poor use of english
all the time. Am I over reacting?
