The Arabic name of the institution that you mentioned does not match its English description. If the English description also serves as a name, then the Arabic name is a faulty translation (not uncommon), even if we restrict orthotics to fitted devices.

"Orthotic" is indeed used mostly for devices that a patient wears for a corrective purpose (mostly for foot therapy). If the technology or equipment mentioned in the article are not of this kind, then the word will not fit (pardon). Other candidates would be correction, adaptation, manipulation, and restoration. For instance:

أحدث تقنيات التقويم
The latest restorative technology

تقنيات تقويم العضلات
Muscular corrective technology

أجهزة تقويم الأطراف العلوية والسفلية
Upper- and lower-limb adaptation equipment

Finally, the word تقنيات as used in this story is not univocal. It could refer to techniques, methodolgies, equipment, or all of the above rolled into one. It is a cute word that gets overused.
Note from asker:
The name of a center for research on protheses and orthotics is mentioned in the text as المركز لبحوث الأطراف الاصطناعية والأجهزة التعويضية the other problem with using orthotics is that an orthotic would be something that a person would be fitted with and he would use it all of the time, however in this context we are talking about some kind of equipment that is used in the gym for a limited period of time to achieve تقويم العضلات

Note from asker:
That might work for تقنيات التقويم, but I can't figure out what it would be in the case of تقويم العضلات.
Should it be techniques or technology? In the case of تقويم العضلات - orthopedics doesn't seem to work... Would it mean muscle building in that context?
