Being the only provider in the State of Nebraska offering Dynamic Movement Orthosis(DMO), we take great pride and care in the children we treat.

Dynamic Movement Orthosis is a new approach to managing abnormal tone a neurological dysfunction. The aim is to improve functional ability through the application of an orthosis designed to meet individual needs and objectives. The recent addition of plastic external frames (patent pending) has given our patients and their rehabilitation professional’s greater flexibility in treatment. These frames are easily added or removed based on the patient’s needs for that particular activity.
