So orthotics is medical equipment that is placed within different areas of the body. So it's always external products. So it's things like neck support, spinal support, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, orthopedic footwear, insoles. So it's generally anything that can help your biomechanics or change your biomechanics. So it's things looking at that. If you have a contract within your body, it helps maintain and manage that. Or if there's areas of your biomechanics that you're not quite walking correctly, that it helps to manage that and actually get you walking in a more stable position, but also helps to reduce pain. And this is a great pain management as well.
