Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO)
Are made in various designs to either eliminate unwanted joint motion or to give assist to motion required.
  
Hip Orthosis
For infants with hip displasia, children with Perthes disease or scissor gait, and adults with unstable hip joints or post operative support.

 Scottish Rite Orthosis

The Scottish Rite orthosis
is prescribed for young children such as 4yr. old Zachary. This condition is called Perthes and is most prevalant in boys. Due to lack of circulation at the head of the femur (hip bone) that bone tends to soften. In order to keep this bone from loss of its rounded shape, the legs are abducted (kept apart). The acetabulum (hip cup) encompasses the head of the femur until regeneration is complete. When this occurs, the brace is no longer needed.
 
Most devices require a doctor's prescription. Each case is evaluated by a certified orthotist and any suggested changes are discussed with the prescribing physician prior to starting the process.
