1. An orthosis comprising a first portion which comprises a polymer reinforced with a plurality of first fibres, and a selectively removable second portion which is disposed around at least a section of a peripheral edge of the orthosis and comprises a polymer reinforced with a plurality of second fibres, wherein the first portion has a higher tensile strength than the second portion, wherein the second portion is visually distinct from the first portion so that in use an area of the selectively removable second portion is easily identifiable and can be removed by a hand operated shearing tool to enable the orthosis to better fit a user.
