Individuals with MS may have many different neurological symptoms. When MS patients are affected by spasticity, devices such as orthoses can help alleviate their symptoms and maintain the greatest possible mobility.

Cerebral palsy is typically a spastic disorder of the nervous and muscular systems that occurs in children. Multidisciplinary therapy is commonly used. A range of aids exists, from early childhood through adulthood, to assist with positioning, support, and improvement of balance and walking ability.

Paralysis is the inability or reduced ability to voluntarily control individual or multiple muscles, muscle groups, or limbs. Today, there are custom orthoses for different conditions and symptoms associated with paralysis.

About 270,000 first-time strokes occur in Germany each year. Modern device solutions (orthoses, wheelchairs, functional electrical stimulation) put a greater focus on rehabilitation following acute treatment.
