orthopedically
In musculoskeletal terms
In a manner relating to orthopedics—the branch of medicine dealing with bones, joints, and muscles.
Something designed orthopedically supports proper alignment or corrects skeletal problems: orthopedically designed shoes, an orthopedically correct mattress.
A patient recovering orthopedically is healing from bone or joint injury or surgery.
