This means that while your child may be missing multiple joints, the prosthesis may not replace each one of those joints individually:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, if your child is missing their wrist, hand, and fingers, a prosthesis may not replace each of the small joints of their hand and fingers. However, the prosthesis would help replicate similar grip and grasp functions that their missing hand and fingers would have performed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your child is missing their foot and ankle, most prosthetic feet do not also have an \u201cankle joint\u201d that points the foot up and down. However, the flexibility of the materials that prosthetic feet are made out of replace that function of the ankle moving up and down while your child is walking.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The prosthetic socket, the piece that interfaces with your child\u2019s residual limb, will encompass their limb up to, or slightly above, the next joint. Your prosthetist will work with you to make sure the socket is fit properly, and these designs are used in order to stabilize your child&#8217;s limb and provide control and leverage for use of the prosthesis.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Upper Limb<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: If your child has a limb loss of their upper limb, a device may help to support grip functions or activities they would like to achieve, but may not be used at all times. Upper limb prostheses can be thought of as tools to help with specific tasks, and could be catered to what your child needs, including sports and activity-specific devices\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Lower Limb<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: If your child has limb loss of their lower limb, a device would replace the function and length of their missing limb and joints so they can run, jump, and play. Depending on the level of their limb loss, that prosthesis would contain a foot, knee, and possibly hip joints.

An example of this device could be:\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Orthosis:<\/strong> An orthosis supports an existing limb to improve alignment and stability for functional movement<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Prosthesis:<\/strong> A prosthesis replaces a missing limb to restore functional movement<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Hybrid device:<\/strong> There are many names for this type of device (\u201cFoot-in-foot&#8221;, Extension Prosthesis, OrthoProsthesis, Prosthosis). This is a device that addresses extreme leg length discrepancies where the anatomy of the limb is still present but requires support. For example, this includes someone with a very short thigh bone and typical lower leg anatomy who may require a hybrid device to support their existing anatomy while accommodating their leg length difference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">The device your child will receive would most likely be a custom device, made exactly to your child\u2019s limb. These custom devices take multiple fitting appointments to ensure that they are fitting and functioning properly for your child\u2019s balance, walking, mobility, and activities!\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once your child is deemed ready to receive a device, they will need to be molded for that device by their orthotist\/prosthetist. It can take anywhere from 2 \u2013 8 weeks for the fitting of that device, depending on the complexity and their type of limb difference. Those appointments would look like:\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Evaluation\/Casting appointment<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cTest\u201d (or Practice) fitting appointments<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Final Delivery appointments<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Follow-up appointments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">As your child grows, fittings and adjustments are made to ensure comfort and proper function.
