We provide custom orthotics for the lower extremities, upper extremities, and trunk. Orthotics can be used to help improve alignment, increase support and stability, or to prevent progression of a deformity.
Pediatric Orthotics
We are able to provide many types of orthotics from many different manufacturers. If there is a certain type of orthotic you would like to try, please let us know and we can evaluate if the patient would be a good candidate. Below are some of the types of orthotics we provide.
-
SMO
Supramalleolar orthotics provide ankle and foot support in the coronal plane. They typically do not have full footplates and the trimline is just above the ankle.
-
AFO
Ankle foot orthotics come in a variety of different materials and styles. Solid ankle AFOs do not allow any ankle motion and provide maximum stability. Hinged or dynamic AFOs, may offer some ankle motion in a certain direction and more control in another direction.
-
TLSO
Thoracolumbosacral orthotics can be used to provide increased trunk support to help patients that have poor trunk control, stabilize the spine after an injury, or help correct a deformity like scoliosis.

Wrist hand orthotics provide support and stability to the wrist, hand, and finger joints. They may help better position a hand for functional activities or limit motion to prevent contractures.
