Orthotics / Prosthetics Clinic

There are different types of orthotics/prosthetics and they have to be fitted according to the child’s age, type of injury/disease, motor advancement and independence in mobility.

Depending on the child’s growth rate, the orthotics/prosthetics  will need to be replaced (usually once a year).

A large portion of these orthotics/prosthetics  are partially funded by the Ministry of Health through the Lewis Institute. The decision regarding who is eligible to receive orthotics/prosthetics  is made by a team of authorized professionals/signatories? appointed by the Lewis Institute (at ALYN Hospital there are 3 authorized signatories that run the clinic - Dr. Meyer, Dr. Eylon, Mrs. Bartov).

You can schedule an appointment at +972-2-6494327 or Fax: +972-2-6494-800.

You are welcome to invite your regular therapists to join.
