Question

The branch of medicine that deals with the provision and use of artificial devices such as splints and braces is _________

(a) prosthetics

(b) orthotics

(c) laproscopic

(d) augmentative communication

I have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

The doubt is from Electrocardiography in chapter Biomedical Recorders of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) laproscopic

The best I can explain: The branch of medicine that deals with the provision and use of artificial devices such as splints and braces are orthotics.  A modality-specific appliance that aids the performance of a function or movement by augmenting or assisting the residual capabilities of that function or movement. An orthopaedic brace is an orthosis.
