Support Item Details
Item Type: A highly individualised, custom-made orthotic device, often referred to as a Hip Thigh Knee Ankle Orthosis (HTKAO). This is a complex brace or support fabricated specifically to fit the unique measurements, anatomical requirements, and clinical needs of the individual participant, providing control and stability to the hip, thigh, knee, and ankle joints.

Purpose: As Assistive Technology, this custom-made orthosis is designed to manage severe or complex lower limb impairments. It provides the necessary structural support, alignment, and correction tailored to the participant's body, which is critical for maximising personal mobility, improving stability, facilitating functional movement, and assisting in daily activities. This directly contributes to achieving the Daily Living goals outlined in the participant's NDIS plan.

Funding Requirement: Funding for Capital supports is generally restricted to the specific items that have been identified and detailed within a participant's NDIS plan. Due to the complexity and custom nature of this item, it typically requires a detailed assessment and recommendation from an appropriately qualified allied health professional (e.g., an Orthotist).

Provider Requirements: Providers claiming for this item must be a Registered Provider with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission for the relevant Registration Group, which is Prosthetics and Orthotics (0135).
