Houston, TX December 20, 2010 Let's face it. Nothing stirs up more deep-felt compassion than the sight of a child who needs prosthetic or orthotic care. How much more than when it's our son or daughter?
While we must eventually face the facts, put on an encouraging smile and ultimately teach our children that they're only as "handicapped" as they think they are, there's always a time of mourning when we ask the simple question, "Why?" LeTourneau Prosthetics strives to provide good answers to all the questions a parent or child may have when getting on the road to recovery.
"Those are our kids, too," says Tom LeTourneau, whose company has helped countless infants, children, adolescents as well as teens overcome physical disabilities over the years. "We basically adopt all the kids who need our services. Our motto for all pediatric cases is, Let's face it TOGETHER.' We want to be there for the long haul and help our kids reach their full potential."
Through advanced technology, an intra-team discipline and more than 125 years of combined experience, LeTourneau Prosthetics offers the best pediatric prosthetic and orthotic program available anywhere in the world. The company provides:
Lower limb prosthetics
Advanced upper limb prosthetics
Orthotics
Specialized bracing for childhood conditions (including club foot, drop foot, C.P., hip dysplasia and scoliosis)
"Quality pediatric prosthetic and orthotic care requires a specialized approach due to the fact that kids are still growing and communication may be limited," says Tom. "Very often this all boils down to more office visits and greater observation. A prosthesis for a child should never be just a scaled down version of an adult prosthesis. It should be a durable, carefully constructed solution made just for them."
Just one of the groundbreaking prosthetic developments for children is The ElectroHand 2000, which isn't just a smaller version of the original myoelectric controlled System Electric Hand. It's a completely new development made exclusively for kids. LeTourneau Prosthetics offers many such advancements.
The ultimate goal of the pediatric prosthetic and orthotic program offered at LeTourneau Prosthetics is a happy child that is able to participate in life to his or her absolute best ability.
