Department of Orthotics and Prosthetics

The Masters of Science degree in Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P) and the O&P Assistant program provides educational opportunities for students to evaluate and create treatment interventions for patients who require orthopedic braces and artificial limbs.

Formal instruction in orthotics and prosthetics theory and application, research design, and allied health-related courses enable students to learn how to design appropriate orthotic or prosthetic treatment plans; to fit and fabricate devices, to implement the treatment plan, and to provide follow-up care.

Evidence from research and clinically relevant outcome measures are integrated with findings from visual examination, oral history, palpation, motion and strength testing, and gait observation to develop the optimum treatment plan.
