Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Introduction
The quality of life of a person will depend on the health conditions which affect them, the consequential
impairments to the body functions and structures, and the resulting activity limitations
The aim of orthotic treatment is to manage the impairments, reduce the activity limitations and thus
improve participation in all aspects of daily life.
This document provides clinicians with a method of recording the relevant information regarding the
condition of their patients, the clinical objectives of treatment and the functional requirements of the
orthoses provided to achieve these objectives.
A standard method is essential for comparing the clinical practices and the outcomes of treatment
provided in different centres. Such a method is also of value to epidemiologists and government health
officials.
