Grading comment

The context was a device to help people walk and the level was non-technical so I think "dizlik" after having also seen the images of "dizlikler." Herkese tesekkurler.

ortez

Explanation:
Braces'in birden fazla anlamı vardır. Dişlere takılan teller veya pantolonun düşmesine engel olan askı manasına gelebilmektedir.
Burada açıklamada bacağa takılan ve ortopedik sorunları olan kişilere takılan birşey olarak belirtildiği için tam çevirisi ortez'dir. Braces çoğuldur. Normalde brace kullanılır. Ortez tıbbi çevirisidir. Orthosis'den gelmektedir. Halk arasında brace'e daha çok "cihaz" denir.

An orthopaedic brace (also orthosis or orthotic) is a device used to:
immobilize a joint or body segment,
restrict movement in a given direction,
assist movement,
reduce weight bearing forces, or
correct the shape of the body.

Example sentence(s):

Knee braces generally have been rigid in both the knee bending direction and in the knee straightening direction unless a manually operated release is incorporated in them to allow the knee to bend.
