Orthoses or orthotic devices help support weakened muscles or joints and assist mobility and correct deformity. Pediatric orthopedic bracing in Palm Beach Gardens can help your child improve their mobility and also correct congenital deformities. Orthoses are of different types and there are different types of bracing available for different parts of the body according to the condition of the wearer. The following are the types of orthoses that are used to manage different issues.
Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO)
Ankle foot orthosis is a lower leg orthotic device to assist with ankle deformities and the deformities of the foot. The joint of this type of orthotic bracing acts as the ankle joint and thus helps the leg to perform the actions just as a good ankle would do. It helps with the dorsiflexion, plantar flexion of the foot and has a lifting effect. The length of the ankle can go as high as the knee without covering it depending on the requirements. This type of orthosis is available both pre-made or custom-made.
Knee Orthosis (KO)
Knee Orthosis is used to support the knees and they are used both by pediatric patients as well as in adults and they may serve different purposes in different age groups. For children, knee orthoses are used during long-legged sitting or resting to promote proper knee extension. In adults, the knee orthoses are usually worn to support the knee by stabilizing the patella, help treat injured anterior or posterior cruciate ligaments along with collateral ligaments, and aiding osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
Elbow Wrist Hand Finger Orthosis (EWHFO)
This type of orthosis is designed for the arm and assists individuals with difficulty in arm movement due to serious conditions like cerebral palsy, spinal injury, brain injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. This device supports the elbow as well as the wrist, hand, and fingers. For those who require forearm support, EWHFOs are a good option.
Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis (KFAO)
This type of orthosis is similar to that of an AFO except they also support the knee along with the ankle and the foot. KFAOs come with different types of knee joints like a locking joint, a free swing, or a stance control joint. They may have both knee and ankle joints depending on your condition. KFAOs are usually custom-made with the help of an orthotist and they are either made of plastic or metal. Some new varieties of KFAOs are made of lightweight carbon fiber.

Wrist Hand Orthosis (WHO)
This type of bracing is usually used by individuals who have an injury in the wrist and the bracing limits the wrist movement to promote quick healing. Sometimes occupational people also wear this type of bracing. Also, even if the wrist is encompassed by the brace, you can still use your hand and move your fingers.
Hip Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis (HKAFO)
Similar to KAFO it extends up to the hips crossing over the hips. The hip joint in this type of bracing is either locking, free swing, or partially locked. The knee and the ankle joints may also be locked or free according to your condition and range of motion. A special type of HKAFO called Reciprocal Gait Orthoses (RGO) allows one-foot swing in front of the other when weight is placed on the contralateral limb.
Head Orthosis
Head orthosis or cranial orthosis is commonly used in newborn children for various congenital conditions like brachycephaly, plagiocephaly, and scaphocephaly. Cranial bracing is also suggested when the child patient suffers an injury in order to allow the injury to heal safely.
Spinal Orthosis
Spinal Orthosis is of different types and they are designed to treat a number of different spinal conditions from Scoliosis to broken backs. The different types of spinal orthoses are Cervical Orthosis (CO) for the neck, Cervical Thoracic Orthosis (CTO) for neck and chest support, Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis (TLSO) for the upper and lower back and the tailbone, Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis (CTLSO) supporting from the neck to the tailbone and is commonly used for spinal fractures, Scoliosis and Kyphosis.
