Custom-fitted orthotics are designed based on a child's specific needs. The process typically involves:
Assessment: A thorough evaluation by a pediatrician, orthopedic specialist, or podiatrist to determine the child's condition and requirements. Casting or Scanning: Creating a mold or using digital scans of the child's affected body part to ensure a precise fit. Fabrication: Crafting the orthotic device using the mold or scan, considering materials that provide the right balance of support and flexibility. Fitting: Adjusting the orthotic on the child to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments.
