Orthotics & Prosthetics is a fascinating area of studies which combines anatomical and biomechanical knowledge with engineering principles to create medical devices and make a real difference in the lives of people who need them. It is an ever-changing area with new emerging tech.
Orthotists and prosthetists use their knowledge of human movement and their artistic skills to modify a custom cast and then design, manufacture and fit a functional device molded to each client individually. The field has made huge progress over the years and emerging tech makes it exciting and relevant on an ongoing basis.
