Access Orthotics Clinic Now Available at CPA Prairiewood

Cerebral Palsy Alliance is pleased to announce a new partnership with Access Orthotics, bringing a fortnightly orthotics clinic to our CPA Prairiewood Centre.

This collaboration makes it easier for families to access high-quality orthotic services in a familiar, supportive environment alongside their existing therapy team.

Comprehensive orthotic services, all in one place

The Access Orthotics team will provide a wide range of services at the Prairiewood clinic, including:

  • Lower Limb Orthoses
  • Upper Extremity Orthoses
  • Custom Made Footwear
  • Dynamic Lycra Suits
  • Prefabricated Orthoses
  • NDIS resources and guidance
  • Advanced 3D scanning technology

Whether you require a new orthosis, a review of an existing device, or support navigating NDIS processes, the team is here to help.

Modern orthotic care, designed around you

For many families, getting an orthosis has traditionally meant plaster casting, long appointments and trying to keep still while the cast sets. Today, technology has transformed that experience.

Access Orthotics uses advanced 3D scanning technology to create a precise digital model of the body. The scanner captures multiple images from different angles and combines them into an accurate 3D representation. This 3D image is then modeled and aligned by skilled Orthotic Clinicians.

There’s:

  • No plaster
  • No mess
  • No discomfort
  • No pressure to rush before a cast dries

The result is a more comfortable appointment and a more precise outcome.

Better accuracy. Better outcomes.

Because the cast is digital, it becomes part of an ongoing clinical record. Over time, clinicians can compare scans to track changes in growth, alignment and muscle tone.

This means:

  • Orthoses can be adjusted proactively as the body changes
  • Reduced risk of skin issues and discomfort
  • Improved comfort and fit
  • Lighter, more precisely designed devices
  • More consistent walking patterns

Rather than relying on trial and error, orthoses are designed millimetre-by-millimetre for each individual.

3D scanning has been used in Australia for over 15 years, and Access Orthotics clinicians have more than a decade of experience using this technology to deliver personalised, measurable care.
