矯(jiao)(jiao)形(xing)器的(de)(de)基本(ben)作用(yong)現代(dai)矯(jiao)(jiao)形(xing)器是由經(jing)過訓練的(de)(de)矯(jiao)(jiao)形(xing)器師制作的(de)(de)。矯(jiao)(jiao)形(xing)器可分為成(cheng)品矯(jiao)(jiao)形(xing)器、訂制成(cheng)品矯(jiao)(jiao)形(xing)器、訂制矯(jiao)(jiao)形(xing)器。矯(jiao)(jiao)形(xing)器應(ying)用(yong)于(yu)四(si)肢、軀干等(deng)部位，通過其固(gu)定(ding)(ding)(ding)、支(zhi)持、矯(jiao)(jiao)正等(deng)作用(yong)，治l療骨骼、關節(jie)、肌肉(rou)和神經(jing)并補(bu)償其功能。矯(jiao)(jiao)形(xing)器可以將軀干或(huo)四(si)肢固(gu)定(ding)(ding)(ding)在一定(ding)(ding)(ding)的(de)(de)體(ti)位，從而(er)起到穩定(ding)(ding)(ding)關節(jie)、支(zhi)持身體(ti)體(ti)位、保護易(yi)損或(huo)受傷部位、利于(yu)損傷修復等(deng)作用(yong)。
