Some indications for orthopedic appliances in the treatment of bone disease in adult patients are discussed. The fit of an appliance and comfort in use are important factors in its acceptance, as are the duration of use required and the standard of maintenance available for it. The role of orthopedic appliances in the rehabilitation of adult orthopedic patients is discussed with reference to osteogenesis imperfecta. The provision of individually adapted chair seats or extension of the patients' area of activity by means of special wheel-chairs are possible ways of improving their quality of life and, indirectly, that of their families.
本文讨论了成人患者骨病治疗中矫形器械的一些适应症。器械的贴合度和使用舒适度是其被接受的重要因素，使用所需的持续时间和可用的维护标准也是如此。本文参照成骨不全症，讨论了矫形器械在成人骨科患者康复中的作用。提供个性化适配的座椅或通过特殊轮椅扩大患者的活动范围，是改善他们以及间接改善其家人生活质量的可行方法。
