Explore more of the world
By expanding their ability to grasp and control objects, a prosthesis opens a new world of ways your child can engage with toys, nature, other children and more.
Freedom to move, play and grow.
At Ottobock, we believe every child deserves the freedom to move, play and grow with confidence. Our kids' prosthetic solutions are designed to support children at every stage of life — from infants taking their first steps to teenagers exploring independence through sport and everyday activities.
Each paediatric prosthetic device is tailored to suit your child's needs, lifestyle and development. Lightweight, compact and made from durable materials, our solutions prioritise comfort, safety and ease of movement, helping children focus on what matters most: being children.
Prosthetic hands and arms for children.
A prosthetic arm or hand supports children who are missing part or all of an upper limb — fingers, hand, part of the arm, the elbow or shoulder. This may be due to a congenital condition, illness or injury.
Children's upper limb prostheses come in many different types to suit different needs, ages and activities — from simple, lightweight hands designed for comfort and appearance to advanced bionic hands that help with gripping, holding and everyday tasks.
For children, a prosthetic arm or hand can build independence, confidence and participation. It supports play, learning, creativity and self-care, helping children explore their abilities at home, school and beyond.
With two hands or arms, a lot comes easier for kids.
Today, prosthetists offer many different specialised hands and arms designed just for kids and their unique mobility needs. Here are key reasons why starting early often delivers the biggest developmental benefits.
Master daily activities
The earlier your child starts using a prosthesis, the sooner it can help them master activities using both limbs — from getting dressed to school tasks and giving big hugs.
Balanced posture and movement
Support on both sides helps your child stand and move as naturally as possible, reducing compensating movements that strain the opposite side of the body.
These proven devices are built specially for kids.
Whether they need a full prosthetic arm or just a prosthetic hand, your child deserves a device built for both their boundless energy and their curious minds.

Prosthetic feet and legs for children.
A prosthetic leg supports children who are missing part or all of a lower limb — hip, knee, foot or toes. This may be due to a congenital condition, illness or injury.
For children, a prosthetic leg can open up a world of possibilities. It helps them move more confidently, take part in play and sport, keep up with friends and enjoy everyday activities at home and school. Most importantly, it supports growing independence and self-confidence as they develop.
Children's lower limb prosthetics are available in a range of designs to suit different ages, activity levels and stages of growth. Each prosthesis is carefully selected and adjusted to meet your child's individual needs and goals.
Kids need prostheses that are ready to keep up with them.
From home, to school, to everywhere they want to explore with their friends, children have a whole wide world they can't wait to discover — and growing, changing bodies to do it with.
Built to be a kid
While your child's device should help keep them on the move, it should also support their social development. The right device lets them be a kid with all the other kids.
Tough enough for play
Back yard, playground or sports field, no one plays harder than children. Their prosthesis should be tough enough for every bump, jump, race or game that's coming next.
Ready for the elements
Indoors, outdoors, rain or shine — kids just want to chase the next discovery. Their prosthesis should be ready for all the dirt, water, mud and grass those little feet will run through.

Learn moreKids need liners tailored to their growing bodies.
The special sleeve that covers your child's residual limb when they're wearing their prosthesis, the liner is a critical component for users of any age. But for kids, customisation is especially important: their liner needs to be purposefully adapted to their unique and growing body, their development stage, and their growth rate.
Ottobock provides several adaptable options that help keep kids comfortable and their prosthesis securely in place, no matter their age or activities.
Tailored for comfort and confidence
Customised Skeo liners are ideal for children, their changing bodies, and unique residual limb shapes.
Made from robust and skin-friendly silicone, these liners are easy to put on, take off, and clean. But most importantly, they provide a secure, reliable fit for kids with both above- and below-knee limb differences, supporting them with all their dynamic daily activities.
And the socket? That's where an expert comes in.
The socket is the direct physical link between your child and their new limb. Because every body is unique, this component rarely comes off the shelf. Instead, your CPO will typically custom-build a socket that perfectly matches your child's residual limb.
This personalised fit is the secret to a secure, comfortable fit that keeps your child safe and stable — so trust your expert prosthetist to ensure the perfect fit.
Let's find the right paediatric prosthesis together.
Our expert team understands the unique developmental needs of children and will help you choose a solution that grows with your child.
