Pediatric orthotics and prosthetics treat congenital and neuromuscular conditions in developing children. Gold-standard devices include the Pavlik Harness for infant Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH), Clubfoot Boots and Bar (Ponseti method) and the Dennis Browne Splint to prevent clubfoot relapses, customized Cerebral Palsy Supports (dynamic DAFOs) to manage spastic gait, and lightweight, growth-adaptable Children's Prosthetic Limbs across All Pediatrics.
Get Your Child's Corrective Procedure & Bracing Done at Ortho Plus Clinic
Children's growing bones and joints require gentle, precision-engineered alignment. Whether it is infant Clubfoot (CTEV), Hip Dysplasia (DDH), Cerebral Palsy toe-walking, or knock knees, have your child's complete clinical procedure conducted by certified specialists at Ortho Plus Clinic:
1. Infant Hip & Foot Alignment Orthoses
Pavlik Harness for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)
When an infant is born with hip instability or dislocation (DDH), early non-invasive intervention is essential. The Pavlik Harness is the international gold standard for infants under 6 months old. It positions the baby’s legs in 90 to 100 degrees of hip flexion and gentle 45-degree abduction. This safely centers the femoral head directly into the acetabular cup without rigid casting, allowing natural kicking while the hip socket deepens and stabilizes.
Clubfoot Boots and Bar (Ponseti Abduction Orthosis)
Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV) causes an infant’s foot to turn inward and downward. Following gentle serial plaster casting and percutaneous Achilles tenotomy (the Ponseti method), the correction must be preserved using **Clubfoot Boots and Bar** (e.g., Steenbeek or Mitchell abduction braces). The brace maintains the corrected feet in 60 to 70 degrees of external rotation and 15 degrees of dorsiflexion, stopping muscle fibers from pulling the foot back into deformity.
Dennis Browne Splint
The Dennis Browne Splint consists of padded footplates or open-toed orthopedic shoes connected to an adjustable-width rigid aluminum spreader bar. Widely prescribed for rotational tibial torsion, talipes calcaneovalgus, and post-casting clubfoot retention, it allows the toddler to flex and extend hips and knees while maintaining prescribed rotational positioning.
2. Neuromuscular Mobility in Children
Custom Cerebral Palsy Supports (DAFOs & Gait Orthoses)
Children with cerebral palsy often battle muscle hypertonia, resulting in equinus toe-walking, scissoring gait, or crouch gait. Our customized Cerebral Palsy Supports—including dynamic Cascade-style DAFOs, ground-reaction AFOs (GRAFOs), and hip twister cables—stabilize the foot and ankle, promote heel strike, inhibit spastic plantarflexion, and prevent irreversible muscle contractures.
3. Pediatric Artificial Limbs
Advanced Children's Prosthetic Limbs
Whether born with congenital limb deficiencies (e.g., fibular hemimelia, transverse arrest) or experiencing traumatic amputation, children have high energy levels and rapid growth cycles. Children's Prosthetic Limbs fabricated at Ortho Plus Clinic are ultra-lightweight, built with high-impact composite resins, and designed with expandable modular sockets. This modular design allows length and volume adjustments every few months, keeping pace with the child's natural physical development without requiring a complete limb overhaul each time.
