At Eschen, we recognize there are differences between treating children and adults with limb-loss, and we have assembled a leading team of prosthetic specialists focused on pediatric care. Our pediatric prosthetists have dedicated their lives to treating children living with limb-loss. As your child grows and becomes more active, their prosthesis will require upgrades and replacements to keep up with them. During high-growth periods, you and your child will likely be spending a lot of time with your prosthetist. Our mission is to build strong and lasting relationships with our pediatric patients and their parents, and work as a team to facilitate your child reaching their full potential.
Our pediatric specialists are experts in
Lower-limb prosthetics
Upper-limb prosthetics
Sports prosthetics
The process of your child receiving a prosthesis will depend upon several factors, including:
How and when did your child lose their limb(s)?
Is your child a new amputee or an experienced prosthetic wearer?
What is the health and appearance of your child’s residual and contralateral limb?
What is your child’s current activity level and future functional goals?
These are just a few of the questions that will dictate the timeline and process for your child receiving their prosthesis. In general, the process always includes the steps outlined on our Prosthetic What to Expect Page.
The prosthetic team at Dynamics Disability Solutions is proud to be a leading source and provider in lower extremity prostheses.
