Welcome to The O&P PT

A place to share knowledge, promote collaboration and provide support for patients, professionals and people interested in orthotics and prosthetics rehabilitation. Follow this blog for resources, news highlights and information related to O&P rehabilitation across the continuum of care.

April is National Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month.

A befitting time to release the inaugural post from The O&P PT as the aim of this blog is to support all individuals affiliated with orthotics and prosthetics rehabilitation. This is a time to celebrate all the hard-earned achievements of those who have undergone rehabilitation, the continued advancements of the engineers & practitioners implementing prosthetic technology and the earnest commitment of the health professionals, volunteers, friends & family supporting all involved. I am humbled by this vast community; diverse yet, unified.

In honor of National Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month, The O&P PT will be focusing this month’s entries on Energy Cost with Prosthetic Gait: Review & Recommendations for Different Activity Levels.
