Orthotic and Prosthetic Education Program

The Orthotic and Prosthetic Education Program trains individuals to design, fit, and maintain orthotic devices (which support or correct limb function) and prosthetic limbs (artificial replacements for lost body parts). These professionals work with patients to enhance mobility and improve quality of life following injuries, surgeries, or congenital conditions. The program covers anatomy, biomechanics, materials science, and patient care, ensuring graduates can effectively assess needs and provide personalized solutions. Ultimately, this field combines healthcare and engineering to empower individuals to regain independence and function.
