At Lawall, we provide pediatric orthotics and prosthetics services to patients who are recovering from birth defects, amputation, and other medical conditions. We offer a full range of services and products to help your child. We have established a reputation for excellence and commitment to patient care. Our practitioners are pediatric orthotics and prosthetics specialists and are skilled at helping patients of all ages, particularly young ones. Pediatrics has been a passion and a focus at Lawalls’ since our inception in 1977. We are proud to offer a full range of quality pediatric care from newborns, to adolescents. No matter if the problem is a birth defect, an injury, or an illness, we’re ready to help.

Our pediatric process starts with a thorough evaluation, which includes gathering all available data and information from a child’s physicians and therapists. We will then measure our patient for the most appropriate device possible. Measurements can be done in the form of casting, numerical measurements, or scans of the affected area. The fitting of the orthosis or prosthesis is next. Once we feel comfortable with the fit, the patient and his or her parents will be instructed on wearing and caring for the device. At this point, follow-up appointments are usually scheduled.

Lawall’s custom Cranial Molding Helmet is used to gently shape the infant’s head into a more proportional and round shape as the infant’s head grows. The helmet leaves a void over the flat areas of the head promoting growth and contacts the more rounded areas of the head discouraging growth. The helmet does not put pressure on an infant’s head therefore, it is painless. Being on the cutting edge of technology is important to us, therefore Lawall was one of the first companies in the US to purchase the Starscanner Laser Data System. The scanner significantly improves the orthotic treatment of cranial asymmetry in infants. The technology reduces the amount of time it takes a patient to receive the device by 50%. It also eliminates the need to take a mold of the child’s head, which can be upsetting for the infant. The STARscanner’s™ also has software that produces a detailed summary report of the infants progress. This report is given to the the infant’s pediatrician, the insurance company, and the parents.

The majority of pediatric patients require custom orthotics due to their unique presentation, high activity level and growth. Lawall is fortunate to have an in house fabrication lab to create any orthoses needed. We also work with outside pediatric manufactures who create custom solutions for various patient populations.
