Assistive devices
for children

Children are not small adults. Therefore, special expertise is required to succeed in the treatment of children, and for the aids to work as well as possible.

Orthoses

Orthoses

to support joints or soft tissue, or to replace lost nerve and/or muscle function

An orthosis is an aid that acts as an external support for a body part. The purpose is to relieve pain, ease and improve activity or counteract malalignment.

Prosthetics

Prosthetics

Sometimes the state of the patients health is so severe that a body part needs to be amputated. Then an individually adapted prosthetic can make a big and positive difference.

Foot disorders

Foot disorders

A foot afflction or failure in walking function can cause pain in other parts of the body, in the back, pelvis, hips or knees. Then a footbed/insole can help you relive your pain.

Footbeds are shoe inserts that are individually adapted to the foot.
