Welcome to the world of Orthotics and Prosthetics.
Here are the tools to "Assist" in evaluating, recommending and fitting/fabricating Orthotic, Prosthetic and Orthopedic interventions.
This site provides an "Assistive" tool for the Allied Health practitioner. We seek to provide state of the art protocols for patient care and help you to safely attend to the needs of the patient.
The videos, instructional materials and mobile site were developed using NCOPE curriculum standards as a guideline. This curriculum is not accredited under NCOPE or CAAHEP. Every attempt has been made to ensure state of the art protocols. Accreditation is a goal of this website as soon as Assistant accreditation becomes available.
