Therapeutic Equipment for Children
Therapeutic equipment is equipment that is used to help your
child achieve a new level of development. These can include
standers, walkers, compression vests and orthotics to name a few.
This type of equipment should be used under the supervision of a
therapist or physician. Your therapist is a great resource to help you
decide which therapeutic equipment is appropriate for your child.
Orthotics (or Braces)
Orthotics or braces are a device to help
control or prevent secondary problems with the foot, ankle, knee, or hip.
For example, secondary problems may include making the knee too flexible,
causing tightness in muscles, or breaking down different joints in the foot
which can lead to arthritis later in life. Read
