When my son had a serious sports accident, we were sent from the hospital to Orthopädie Scharpenberg because we needed an orthosis. We were given a very warm welcome, hardly had to wait at all, and the product was explained to us very clearly. We received excellent care in every respect.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can a child get a prosthesis?
Prostheses can be fitted as early as infancy if medically appropriate. Early prostheses help with balance, walking, and grasping
How often does a child's prosthesis need to be adjusted?
Because children grow, regular adjustments or new garments are necessary, usually every 6 to 12 months.
What types of children's prostheses are there?
Depending on the type of amputation, we offer leg, arm or partial prostheses, precisely fitted and tailored to everyday life and play behavior.
Is a child's prosthesis paid for by health insurance?
Generally, yes. We support families with the application process and handle communication with the funding agencies.
How do children get used to a prosthesis?
The settling-in period is playful and based on everyday life. Parents, therapists, and our team carefully guide this process.
Are there child-friendly designs or colors?
Yes! Children can help design their prostheses, which strengthens their self-confidence and makes the care process emotionally easier.
