Pediatrics: Helping Children Move, Grow & Thrive

Specialized clinical expertise for pediatric orthotics and prosthetics, providing custom-fit devices that support development and corrective alignment.

Pediatric Orthotic Devices We Provide

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.

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.

Pectus Carinatum Brace

A specialized compression orthosis designed to provide corrective pressure to the chest wall while remaining low-profile under clothing.

Clinical Spotlight: Blount’s Disease

Blount’s Disease is a growth disorder that affects the shin bone (tibia), causing the lower legs to bow outward. Through specialized KAFO (Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis) bracing, we can often correct this alignment non-surgically.

Initial Alignment 14 Degrees Bilateral

Final Result 5 Degrees Bilateral

Course of Treatment 22 Weeks

Method: Specialized Blount’s KAFO Bracing.
