Paediatric Conditions Treated at LOC

The London Orthotic Consultancy (LOC) has unrivalled expertise in treating children. In 2015, we started working with Elaine Owen, a world-renowned physiotherapist who has developed concepts adopted across the world as the gold standard in lower limb orthotic management of children with neurological conditions. Together we have built what we call the OSKAR clinic. We believe this is a unique example of orthotics being used to their absolute potential and helping children and their parents achieve the goals they set. We work with a number of London hospitals including The Portland which is the UK’s largest private hospital for women and children. We provided orthotics for their first Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) patient in 2016 and now provide in patient assessments as requested by the clinical team there.  At LOC, we often work with children who present with rare, complex conditions and are able to produce effective treatments that aid rehabilitation and reduce pain due to the breadth and depth of our clinician’s expertise. Our bespoke orthoses are designed to enhance function and mobility, provide structural support and reduce the effects of contractures and deformities as children grow. We understand that your children develop their motor patterns and gait characteristics from an early age. Correctly prescribed and well-designed orthoses can play a vital role in aiding this development into later life. We aim to design orthoses and provide adjustments where possible to maximise their durability as your child grows and develops.
