Custom KARE Orthosis

Partnering for Mobility - Custom KARE Orthosis

Amirs Therapy Gym has had a long time collaboration with KARE orthotics. Mr. Saravanan and Mr. Jay Raj are our key orthotic consultants, and through them we are able to provide top of the range orthosis to our patients. Orthotic devices pave the road towards strength, balance, comfort and independence. The concept behind orthotics is to help a child maintain his or her level of mobility, or correct physical issues that are preventing the child from being fully-ambulatory.They are braces that are worn externally by a child or adult. KARE makes custom Orthotics to fit the specific needs of the child or adult. The first session would be a consultation with the Orthotist, who is assisted by one of our trained PT’s or OT’s.

With KARE orthotic devices, there is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’. In actuality, the braces are complex tools that address a person’s specific physical condition. What materials a device is composed of, how it fits, and the role it’s expected to play in a child’s development will be dictated by a child’s structural and functional needs. These orthotic devices are flexible to allow movement where the leg is functional yet rigid enough to support areas of the leg that need the support.
