peer agreement (net): +6orthotics Explanation: The science that deals with the use of specialized mechanical devices to support or supplement weakened or abnormal joints or limbs (American Heritage Dictionary) Orthotics is an allied health care medical profession or field that is concerned with the design, development, fitting and manufacturing of orthoses, which are devices that support or correct musculoskeletal deformities and/or abnormalities of the human body. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthotics أحدث تقنيات التقويم the latest orthotic technology تقنيات تقويم العضلات muscular othotic technology أجهزة تقويم الأطراف العلوية والسفلية upper- and lower-limb orthotic equipment The language used in this page may also help: http://www.articlesbase.com/wellness-articles/jms-plastics-n... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2008-09-07 18:28:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Arabic name of the institution that you mentioned does not match its English description. If the English description also serves as a name, then the Arabic name is a faulty translation (not uncommon), even if we restrict orthotics to fitted devices. "Orthotic" is indeed used mostly for devices that a patient wears for a corrective purpose (mostly for foot therapy). If the technology or equipment mentioned in the article are not of this kind, then the word will not fit (pardon). Other candidates would be correction, adaptation, manipulation, and restoration. For instance: أحدث تقنيات التقويم The latest restorative technology تقنيات تقويم العضلات Muscular corrective technology This page may be helpful: http://www.muscledoctor.com.au/mct.html أجهزة تقويم الأطراف العلوية والسفلية Upper- and lower-limb adaptation equipment Finally, the word تقنيات as used in this story is not univocal. It could refer to techniques, methodolgies, equipment, or all of the above rolled into one. It is a cute word that gets overused. |
