The National Association for the Advancement of Orthotics and Prosthetics (NAAOP) is a professional organization that supports and advocates for specialists who create and fit orthotic and prosthetic devices—like braces and artificial limbs. Its goal is to promote high standards of care, advance the profession through education and research, and ensure patients have access to quality services. NAAOP also works on policies and laws that protect practitioners and patients, advocating for fair reimbursement and regulatory standards to improve overall patient outcomes.
