Special care must be taken to account for aspects of growth, sizing, and function that are all unique to pediatric populations.
We employ technologies from Cascade DAFO, LaunchPad, and others to ensure we create small, light, durable, and modifiable orthoses in order to increase chances of your child engaging with and accepting their device.
Cranial remolding is a time-sensitive process that must be addressed with care. POA has extensive experience with the intricacies of fitting of and compliance with helmets to keep your baby progressing to their goal shape.
Spinal bracing is most often used in the treatment of scoliosis for pediatric cases. Scoliosis is a well-studied focus area of orthotics, using common treatment plans with which POA clinicians are familiar.
Spinal orthotics can also be used for stabilization of the spine in conjunction with therapy.
