Pediatric Orthotics for Children
Helping children move better, grow stronger, and live more independently.
Our experienced team works closely with families, physicians, and therapists to ensure every device is tailored to your child’s unique needs and growth.
Why Pediatric Orthotics Are Important
• Improve alignment and posture
• Enhance walking and mobility
• Reduce pain and discomfort
• Prevent or correct deformities
• Increase independence and confidence
Because children grow quickly, orthotic care requires ongoing adjustments and monitoring to ensure proper fit and function over time.
Types of Pediatric Orthotic Devices We Offer
Our custom orthotic solutions are designed specifically for children and may include:
SMOs (Supramalleolar Orthoses)
Short ankle braces that stabilize the foot and ankle to improve balance and alignment—commonly used for low muscle tone or pronation.
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.

Long‑leg braces providing knee and ankle stability for children with muscle weakness or paralysis.

Pediatric Orthotics Require Specialized Expertise
Treating children with orthotics involves unique challenges and considerations:

- Designs must support active lifestyles
This is why pediatric orthotics are often custom-fabricated rather than off-the-shelf solutions.
