Helping Kids Move and Be Their Best
A pediatric prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces and helps children regain function in a missing body part like an arm or leg. Modern prosthetic devices are made with advanced, lightweight technologies that allow kids to reach their full potential.
At Nemours Children's, our certified pediatric
orthopedists
and physiatrists (specialists in
physical medicine and rehabilitation
) understand how children grow and develop physically, emotionally and socially. Our goal is to help every child move and feel their best — and lead an active, independent life.

Conditions We Treat With Prosthetic Devices
We provide individualized care for each child who could benefit from a prosthesis, whether they were born without a certain body part or lost it due to illness or injury. We have special expertise and experience working with children with a wide range of conditions like
limb deformities
.
Our experts team up to recommend the best prosthetic devices for each child. The prosthetic prescription can be for the lower extremities (foot, above and below the knee) and/or
upper extremities
(fingers, hands, above and below the elbow).
Prosthetic Services We Offer
We use the latest technologies to measure, make and fit prosthetic devices for children. And children’s rapid growth often means their prostheses will need to be rechecked often. So we provide thorough, ongoing follow-up care.
Because children who need a prosthetic device will often need care from other medical areas, you’ll have access to our entire team of Nemours experts and specialists from a range of departments, including:
Behavioral health
Gait and motion analysis
Occupational therapy
Orthopedic surgery
Orthotics
Physical therapy
Psychology
Rehabilitation medicine
Why Choose Us
At Nemours, we work with our onsite doctors and surgeons to fit the ideal prosthesis for each age and stage. Our board-certified experts strive to make sure your child is as functional and mobile as possible as they grow and develop. We want to help your child not just function, but thrive with each new device.
