PROSTHETIC PEDIATRICS

At Lawall Orthotic & Prosthetic Services, we know that children's needs require special attention, not only because children are our most precious resource for the future, but also because the challenges of fitting children require more complex analysis and design solutions.

Scaled-down versions of adult prosthetic components won't fill the bill; because children grow quickly and their activity levels place extra stress on the prostheses, pediatric practitioners must build a comprehensive profile of each child before the design process can begin.

Working closely with doctors, therapists, and parents, Lawall experts listen carefully to these vital members of the treatment team, applying shared insights and building the child's confidence and willingness to participate and contribute to the process.

Assimilating all available input, we design and fabricate a unique, customized prosthetic device reflecting an optimal balance between weight, durability, and function, allowing for individual growth and activity levels, and providing an eminently practical and versatile unit with superior performance capabilities.

Children are wonderfully resilient and adaptable, and normally adjust more quickly and easily than adults to their new prostheses.

As with adult devices, all our custom pediatric prosthetics utilize the latest available technology and materials; lightweight, durable, and individually tailored to each patient.
