Pediatric orthoses are devices used in children to support or align a body region or to regulate its movement. They are planned in line with a specialist physician's assessment, taking the child's growth and development into account.
Topics assessed in children may include applications used in cerebral palsy, which develops in early childhood, the abduction bed that supports hip development in babies, and solutions such as the cranial helmet aimed at correcting head shape in infancy.
Intended uses
- Supporting posture and alignment
- Regulating joint movement
- Functional support in activities of daily living
Why is follow-up important?
In children, size and fit may change with growth. Regular check-ups and, where necessary, renewal or adjustment are therefore important. Fitting is carried out in line with a specialist physician's prescription/medical report.
