A Step Ahead Kids

A Step Ahead Kids is an orthotics and prosthetics practice that designs and builds custom prosthetics, orthotics, braces and helmets. Its services include upper and lower extremity prosthetics, ankle-foot and knee-ankle-foot orthoses, and contracture, knee, hand and wrist braces, with cranial remodeling helmets offered at some locations. Families often describe the staff as patient and accommodating, especially with younger patients.

Devices are fabricated onsite by licensed practitioners, which the practice says helps with quick turnaround times. Patients can expect a team that works closely with physical therapists and keeps families informed through the process. The practice has served Tennessee and Alabama for more than 20 years, and its Nashville office is on Thompson Lane. Weekday hours are listed for Monday through Friday.
