Types of Pediatric Orthotic Devices We Offer

AFOs (Ankle‑Foot Orthoses)
Braces from below the knee to the foot designed to support walking, control motion, and enhance gait stability.
WHOs (Wrist‑Hand Orthoses)
Lightweight supports that position the wrist and hand to improve grasp and functional use.
Benik TLSO
Soft, flexible trunk support that improves posture and stability while allowing freedom of movement.
Turtle Brace
Remoldable leg brace that provides adjustable support and alignment as a child grows or needs change.
Cranial Remolding Helmets
Gentle helmets used to guide symmetrical skull growth in infants with plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome).
KAFOs (Knee‑Ankle‑Foot Orthoses)
Long‑leg braces providing knee and ankle stability for children with muscle weakness or paralysis.
Hip Abduction Braces
Orthoses that maintain proper hip alignment—often prescribed for hip dysplasia or post‑surgical positioning.

Does Your Child Need an AFO or SMO?
AFOs and SMOs are two common types of pediatric orthoses, but they serve different purposes.
Custom AFOs

Custom SMOs
An SMO, or supramalleolar orthosis, generally provides support around the foot and ankle while allowing greater movement through the lower leg. SMOs may be appropriate for children who need additional foot and ankle stability without the level of control provided by an AFO.

The right choice depends on your child’s specific needs. Our team can evaluate your child’s movement and help determine what type of pediatric orthotic may be appropriate.
Custom Pediatric AFOs & SMOs in Hollywood
Children’s feet and legs change as they grow. An orthosis that fit well months ago may eventually need an adjustment, modification, or replacement.
We understand the importance of ongoing pediatric orthotic care and can help families address changes in fit and function as their child develops.
Signs that an orthosis may need to be evaluated include:
- Your child has outgrown the orthosis
- Redness or pressure areas develop
- The orthosis is uncomfortable
- Your child has difficulty putting it on
- The brace no longer provides adequate support
- Your child’s walking pattern has changed
- Your child is experiencing new balance or stability concerns
- The orthosis is damaged or worn
If you’re unsure whether your child’s current brace still fits properly, it may be time for an evaluation.
