Child Care

For children, a prosthesis isn’t just mobility—it’s freedom to play, explore, and dream without limits.

At our clinic, we believe that pediatric care in prosthetics and orthotics is not just about devices—it’s about nurturing growth, confidence, and comfort from the earliest stages. Children have unique physical and emotional needs, and our approach is designed to support both. Whether a child requires a prosthetic limb due to congenital conditions or trauma, or an orthotic device to aid mobility and alignment, we ensure every solution is tailored to their lifestyle and developmental stage.

Our cranial orthotic services, including custom remolding helmets, gently guide head shape correction for infants with conditions like plagiocephaly, offering safe and effective care during the critical growth window of 3 to 18 months. We prioritize soft materials, precise fittings, and parental education to ensure comfort and compliance. With a compassionate team and a commitment to innovation, we walk alongside families—empowering children to thrive with confidence and dignity.

Unique Needs of Children

• Growth & Development: Children grow rapidly, so devices must be adjustable or frequently replaced to match their changing anatomy.

• Activity Level: Kids are naturally active—prosthetics and orthotics must be durable, lightweight, and safe for play.

• Emotional Support: Acceptance and confidence are key. Devices should feel like part of their identity, not a burden.

Prosthetics for Children

• Congenital vs. Acquired Limb Loss: About 70% of pediatric cases are congenital; the rest are due to trauma or disease.

• Socket Fit & Comfort: A well-fitted socket is essential—discomfort leads to rejection of the device.

• Customization: Devices are tailored to the child’s lifestyle—whether they love sports, painting, or dancing.

• Parental Involvement: Parents play a vital role in daily care, monitoring skin health, and encouraging use.

Pediatric Orthotics

• Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Clubfoot: Orthoses help with alignment, mobility, and muscle control.

• Growth Monitoring: Frequent follow-ups are needed to adjust fit and function.

• Multidisciplinary Care: Collaboration with therapists, physicians, and caregivers ensures holistic treatment

Headcare in Orthotics

Cranial Remolding Helmets

Used to treat plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, or scaphocephaly—conditions where a baby’s head shape is asymmetrical due to external pressure.

• Age Window: Most effective between 3–18 months when skull growth is rapid.

• Custom Fit: Helmets are 3D-scanned and molded to gently guide skull growth.

• Wearing Schedule: Typically worn 23 hours/day for several months.

• Parental Guidance: Education on hygiene, skin checks, and emotional reassurance is crucial.
