Hello All
I have been asked to give a lecture on Orthotics to a group of residents. In looking up definitions a majority of sources use Orthotic as a noun. I was taught early on that Orthotics is what we do. We make Orthoses which is the noun. None of the dictionaries I have referenced agree with me, please help me educate a new generation of physicians on proper terminology. Any correct sources you can direct me to.
Thanks in advance
