People can experience the total or partial loss of a limb or an orthopedic impairment for many reasons, including accidents, combat injuries, birth defects and disease.
Health care professionals who specialize in orthotics and prosthetics help these patients regain their mobility by fitting them with artificial limbs (prostheses) and orthopedic braces (orthoses). This field encompasses a variety of specialized careers, each of which contributes to designing, making, fitting, modifying, repairing and maintaining O&P devices that make an immeasurable impact on an individual’s quality of life.
