Orthotics & Prosthetics
The field of orthotics and prosthetics ( O & P ) has evolved over the years
into an important allied health profession. Prosthetics is defined as the
science of external limb replacement and orthotics the science of external
support of the limbs and torso. In conjuction with technological advances,
an increase in education and experience have provided the knowledge
necessary for
the production of improved O & P designs.
Certified Orthotists and Prosthetists are a key part of the healthcare team.
Orthotic and Prosthetic practitioners work side by side with doctors and
therapists in order to provide patients with appropriate treatment.
Concurrent with the developments in material sciences for the field of
orthotics and prosthetics is advancement in objective evaluation techniques.
O & P practitioners combine their knowledge
of the health sciences with materials science and biomechanics in order to
care for patients with debilitating and traumatic disease. Our goals are to
correct flexible deformities and accommodate rigid deformities, thus
minimizing the progression of the condition and allowing the patient to
return to normal daily activities.
