Tailored Care for Growing Bodies

When children and teens experience limb differences, limb loss, orthopedic conditions or require orthotic or prosthetic devices, they need solutions designed specifically for growing bodies. At Mary Free Bed Kids, our Orthotics, Prosthetics & Bionics Program is dedicated exclusively to patients 18 and younger. We combine advanced fabrication, child-centered design and specialized pediatric expertise to help young patients build mobility, independence and confidence throughout each stage of development.

Whether your child needs an orthotic brace, a cranial remolding helmet, a prosthetic limb or adaptive bionic technology, our pediatric specialists understand the rapid physical and developmental changes children experience. Each device is created to adapt to growth, activity levels and long-term goals. From early mobility to playing sports as a teen, we provide support for every phase of childhood.

Collaborative Care Across the Pediatric Continuum

Mary Free Bed Kids works closely with leading pediatric health systems, including Corewell Health, Bronson Healthcare and Beacon Health System, to ensure children receive coordinated, comprehensive care. Through these partnerships, our team collaborates with pediatric orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, rehabilitation medicine physicians and specialty care teams to align device planning with each child’s broader treatment plan.

This integrated approach ensures prescriptions, therapy plans, surgical considerations and long-term mobility goals are all connected. The prosthetics and orthotics specialists also collaborate with the Mary Free Bed Kids Pediatric Rehabilitation Team to provide seamless, collaborative care.

Team members include:

The Pediatric Device Process

  1. We start with a comprehensive evaluation that includes mobility assessments, growth projections and activity goals. We develop an understanding of your child’s daily environments.
  2. Based on this information, our specialists design and fabricate custom devices in one of our three fabrication facilities or in partnership with outside manufacturers.
  3. After fabrication, children attend a personalized fitting appointment to ensure proper alignment, comfort, and function.
  4. We also provide training for children and caregivers on safe use, device care, and how to integrate it into everyday life.
  5. We schedule regular follow-up visits to help maintain proper fit and performance as your child grows.

Outcomes That Matter

Children supported through our device program often experience improved mobility, posture, balance, strength, comfort and confidence. Many return to school and recreational activities with fewer limitations. Our proactive, child-centered planning helps reduce device complications and supports long-term success.

Preparing For Your Visit

Preparing For Your Child’s Visit to Mary Free Bed Orthotics & Prosthetics + Bionics
Before your visit to Mary Free Bed, your physician will evaluate your child’s condition and provide a prescription for a device. Once we receive the prescription, our scheduling team will reach out to find a convenient appointment for you.  

Your Child’s First Visit 
During the initial appointment, your child’s clinician will conduct a full evaluation, review your child’s medical history and take measurements. They’ll also discuss their daily activities to ensure their device is designed to fit their lifestyle. From there, the clinician will oversee the creation of your child’s device and teach them how to use it safely. 

Custom Orthotic and Prosthetic Fabrication and Fitting 
Some orthotic devices are ready-made and available right away, while others are custom-designed to meet your child’s specific needs. Prosthetic devices are custom-tailored for the best fit and function, and during this process they’ll be fitted with a diagnostic test socket as a trial. Their clinician will make adjustments based on their comfort and needs before their final prosthesis is created by our skilled technicians. 

Receiving Your Child’s Orthotic or Prosthetic Device 
Once the fitting process is complete and your child’s device is ready, they’ll have a delivery appointment to take their new device home. Their clinician will ensure they feel confident and prepared, providing all the information and guidance they need for using their device at home. 

Ongoing Care and Support 
If your child’s device fits well at the delivery appointment, they may not need further adjustments. However, if you or your child have any questions, require modifications or the clinician recommends follow-up care, we’re here to help. Simply contact the Mary Free Bed Orthotics & Prosthetics + Bionics location you’re working with for assistance. 

Amputee Support and Community 
We know that no one understands your child’s experience quite like someone who has been through it themselves. That’s why Mary Free Bed offers a network of Amputee Support Groups that meet regularly, along with our Amputee Mentor Program to connect you with others who have shared experiences. For the latest information on our monthly Amputee Support Group meetings, simply contact your preferred Mary Free Bed Orthotics & Prosthetics + Bionics location.

We know that no one understands your child’s experience quite like someone who has been through it themselves. That’s why Mary Free Bed offers a network of Amputee Support Groups that meet regularly, along with our Amputee Mentor Program to connect you with others who have shared experiences. For the latest information on our monthly Amputee Support Group meetings, simply contact your preferred Mary Free Bed Orthotics & Prosthetics + Bionics location.
