It used
to be wheelchairs where one size fits all. The patient had
to fit the chair. It
is no longer that way. Wheelchairs are built to fit the patient
and the patients' special needs
At one time treatment areas were big and spooky to kids like
this x-ray machine. But now with artwork on the walls and
smaller machines the taking of x-rays is not quiet the experience
it once was for the children
In the old days braces and artificial limbs were all designed
to individual specifications for each child. With the tools
we had it was a daunting task and they were heavy and cumbersome.
Today we still make the prosthesis to individual specifications
but now they are much lighter, much more maneuverable and
much more individualized. We can now use colors, make ones
for sports, and meet many other specific needs.
