The Orthopaedic Research Center (ORC), located on the UCLA Westwood campus, was constructed in 2007. The five-story, 95,000-square-foot facility is another result of the cooperative effort with UCLA.
At Luskin Orthopedic Institute for Children (LuskinOIC), we provide specialized pediatric orthopedic rehabilitation — whether your child has been injured in sports, or needs care for medical conditions like muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, or hip dysplasia.
Our dedicated physical therapists and occupational therapists offer tailored treatment plans to help your child regain an active and playful life, while our innovative equipment and motivating environment help our patients through successful rehabilitation.

- Devise a rehabilitation plan tailored to help your child regain function, including range of motion and coordination
- Provide the tools needed to implement the rehabilitation program
- Work to help your child reach their goals and prevent symptoms or injuries from worsening or recurring
At LuskinOIC, we specialize in physical therapy and occupational therapy for babies, children, teens, and hemophilia patients at every stage of growth. We focus on patients who have a range of conditions and and injuries, including:
- Orthopedic injuries like fractures, sprains, strains, muscle and ligament tears, joint bleeds, etc.

Setting the standard in treating Hemohilia
At LuskinOIC’s Orthopaedic Hemophilia Treatment Center (OHTC), we set the standard in treating hemophilia joint and limb issues. In 1970, OHTC was designated by the World Federation of Hemophilia as one of the first four International Hemophilia Training Centers.
We’ve consistently been pioneers for our patients: we were the first comprehensive care center on the West Coast, we performed the first successful hip replacement surgery in a patient with hemophilia, and through clinical trials we have been providing the newest treatments available.
In addition to treatment, we conduct groundbreaking research, provide innovative and personalized physical therapy, and offer genetic counseling for patients and their families.
Why LuskinOIC for Orthopedic Rehabilitation?
At LuskinOIC’s world-class Orthopedic Rehabilitation Center, we know that orthopedic therapy is a powerful treatment for both musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, and a critical step in your child’s recovery. Contrary to popular belief, it involves much more than just building up your child’s muscle strength.
We also understand that our therapists need the latest technology to get the best possible outcomes for your child — which is exactly what we can do with our new reformer and CoreAlign equipment, Alter G gravity eliminating treadmill, and therapy suite.
Some of our rehabilitation plans and programs, depending on your child’s condition, include:
- Dynamic Injury Prevention Program
- Exercises for Return to Pitching
- Foam Roller Exercises
- Knee Strengthening Exercises
- Medial Patella Femoral Ligament (MPFL) Reconstruction
- Meniscal Repair
- Shoulder Exercises
Our Approach
Whether your child is healing from an injury or managing a chronic illness, positive outcomes in physical and occupational therapy can pave the way for success in many other aspects of life — like boosting confidence and independence.
At LuskinOIC, our goal is to guide your child’s recovery and teach you and your child how to prevent injuries in the future in our brand new, state-of-the-art Rehabilitation Center. Success requires a team approach between your physician, our physical and occupational therapists, your child, and you.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as we work toward that goal together:
- Education is a huge part of pediatric physical and occupational therapy. LuskinOIC’s therapists would love to equip you and your child with the right information to meet your rehabilitation goals.
- Success in therapy requires motivation and hard work. Our therapists will help your child find the right approach to healing – mixing love, laughter, and work. The at-home exercises are just as important to your child’s recovery as the in-person work done at LuskinOIC.
- Physical therapy is about more than just healing the body. Physical therapy has a motivational component that can convert an “I can’t” mindset to “Let’s do this.”
- Ask questions. It’s our job to make sure you and your child are informed. For questions at any stage along your therapy journey, please ask us.
