Do all credentialed orthotists and prosthetists have experience providing cranial remolding orthoses?
Not necessarily. Individual orthotists and prosthetists have varying levels of experience with different types of orthoses. The educational background of these health care practitioners enables them to evaluate and assess the patient’s needs, and apply orthotic management principles to each patient. Evaluation, orthotic design, material properties, casting, fitting, and follow-up are integrated into the experience of every practitioner, and they have a high level of competency in these areas. You may want to interview several local practitioners before choosing the one that is right for you and your child.
