Pediatric Orthotics and Brace Clinic
The Pediatric Orthotics and Brace Clinic provides comprehensive assessment and management of children with neuromuscular and/or musculoskeletal abnormalities, including: cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, muscular dystrophy, developmental delay, and autism spectrum disorders. A collaborative team of physical and occupational therapists and orthotics specialists develop customized devices that best suit each patients’ needs. The teams create custom fabrication of braces and perform expert fittings to improve patients’ mobility, daily functional abilities, independence and comfort. Follow-up visits are also provided for any modifications or adjustments that are needed.
Approach to Care
Whether a child needs a single therapy or a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation program, our pediatric rehabilitation specialists develop a customized care plan to ensure the best possible outcomes. In helping our patients reach their potential, our staff addresses the physical, social, emotional and academic needs of each child, laying the foundation for the continuing development of abilities and the experience of success. Clinicians work with pediatric specialists, referring physicians, schools, the family and the child to set goals and review progress. We also help families identify additional services and resources available to them within the healthcare system and in their communities.
Expertise
Our clinicians have advanced training and experience working with children from birth to fifteen years of age. Team members listen carefully to what each child and parent have to say to create a customized care plan that engages and motivates the child.
