Abstract: Objective To study the design and fabricating method of orthosis for patients with leg length discrepancy.Methods Ischial weight bearing orthosis with prosthetic feet was made through efforts from weight, beauty and durability. The fabrication process included taking a negative plaster cast, modifying the positive model, forming, alignment, and fitting the device to the patients.Results The orthosis was compensated for the patients' height with good appearance and convenience wearing.Conclusion Ischial weight bearing orthosis with prosthetic feet can help patients reconstruct walking function, therefore can be recommended.

Key words: leg length discrepancy, walking function, orthosis, fabrication
