Paulani Hunt Medical Orthotist and Prosthetist

We measure, design, manufacture and fit Orthotic and Prosthetic devices, with a special interest in Tech Medical Orthotics and Prosthetics in 2010.

Hunt Orthopaedics is an Orthotic and Prosthetic practice based in the Northern suburbs of Johannesburg owned and run by Paulani Hunt. Orthotist & Prosthetist, Paulani Hunt, has over 20 years of experience in the profession, having completed her National Diploma in Medical Orthotics and Prosthetics in 1999 and B. Her diverse experience ranges from working in a government institution, manufacturing

the hardwearing prosthetics (arms & legs) and orthotics (leg callipers, spinal bracing, as well as foot orthotics) suitable for any developing or rural area, to her experience working at the Military Hospital fitting high activity carbon and hydraulic prosthetics and mechanically advanced Orthopaedic appliances. During this time Paulani has developed a special interest in Paediatric Orthopaedics and Prosthetics. This includes the manufacturing and fitting of customized bracing, both supportive and corrective and teaching children to walk again with their new legs. Lightweight customized knee bracing is also available for active people who need more than a little support. In addition to our customized manufacturing, we also offer the fitting of breast prostheses after the emotional experience of a mastectomy. Naturally, emotional sensitivity is high at this time in one’s life, but with Paulani’s kind, personal and emotional support, every patient’s experience has been a positive one. Our other services include the fitting and supplying of ‘off-the-shelf’ items such as compression hosiery, wrist braces and hand splints, Foam walkers (moon boots) and ankle braces and also patient aids such as crutches, walking frames and commodes. We will always do our best to turn your ‘disability’ into an ability to be and do anything you want to!

Wobbly walking? Completely normal.
Every child developing at their own pace? Absolutely.
Barefoot being best (when safe)? More important than you think.

Those early steps aren’t about perfection, they’re about learning, building strength, and finding balance.

Understanding what’s normal helps you support your child with confidence every step of the way is where we come in. 💙

Every milestone, no matter how small, is a step toward stronger, more confident movement. With the right support, these moments become the foundation for lifelong mobility. 🦶

If you’ve noticed changes in your child’s walking or balance, our team is here to assess, guide, and support you through every stage of their journey. 💙

Orthotics and braces are designed to support alignment, improve stability, and encourage more efficient movement, not to limit it. By guiding the body into better positions, they help children move with greater comfort, confidence, and control as they grow.

When introduced at the right time, these small supports can make a big difference in how a child develops, moves, and experiences the world around them. 💙👣

Every child’s journey is different and their prosthetic should be too. 👶💙

We take the time to understand each child’s needs, lifestyle, and goals to create a solution that supports them in the way they move, play, and grow.

Because it’s never one-size-fits-all. 👣

Joint alignment braces can help guide developing joints, improve stability, and encourage healthier movement patterns while a child is still growing. Early support can make a meaningful difference in building strength, balance, and confidence.

Our team works closely with families to assess each child’s needs, design the right support, and guide them through every step of the process. 💙

As a female-led company, we take immense pride in celebrating International Women’s Day and everything it represents, courage, leadership, and the incredible impact women make every day. 💜

Balance, coordination, and walking patterns are all part of healthy development. While every child grows at their own pace, noticing signs like frequent falls, difficulty balancing, or unusual walking patterns can help identify when a little extra support may be needed.

Early observation leads to early guidance, helping little bodies grow stronger, steadier, and more confident with every step. 💙

🌿 Weekend Reminder

Your body has worked hard all week.
Stretch a little. Walk a little. Rest a little.

Movement doesn’t always have to be structured, sometimes it’s just chasing in the garden, a slow family stroll, or dancing in the kitchen. 💃🕺

However you move this weekend, make it count. 💙

💬 Before we start any treatment, there’s something we make sure every family understands.

✔️ What the brace is designed to do?
✔️ What the brace doesn't do
✔️ What does realistic progress look like?

Clear expectations build confidence. Neuro-orthopaedic care isn’t just about fitting a device, it’s about understanding the journey ahead and walking it together. 💙👣

12/02/2026

Bodies change. Growth happens. Support must evolve.

In neuro-orthopaedics, we don’t think in single visits, we think in years.
Because care isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about guiding development, protecting alignment, and building sustainable movement for the long term. 💙👣

07/02/2026

Waiting can sometimes mean missed windows for easier correction.

In growing children and in neurological conditions, the body is constantly changing. Acting early doesn’t mean rushing — it means making informed, timely decisions that can prevent stiffness, joint changes, and more complex interventions later on.

Early assessment gives us the opportunity to guide growth, support movement, and protect long-term function. Because when it comes to development, the right support at the right time can make all the difference. 💙

28/01/2026

What we look for during a neuro-orthopaedic assessment:
💪 Muscle tone
🦵 Joint alignment
🦶 Balance & symmetry
👣 Compensations

Movement is rarely random, but it’s full of patterns. Our job is to recognise them early.
