Armed with the knowledge of information and techniques needed to diagnose and treat human injuries, diseases and deformities, prosthetists and orthotists provide care for anyone requiring an artificial limb (prosthesis) or a device to support or control part of the body (orthosis). They will also advise patients on rehabilitation.

As a Prosthetist, you will provide the best possible artificial replacement for patients who have lost or were born without a limb. A prosthetic limb should look and feel like a natural limb.

As an Orthotist, you will provide a range of splints, braces and special footwear to aid movement, correct deformity and relieve comfort. You will work closely with many of your colleagues, such as doctors and physiotherapists to assess the patient's condition.

No disabled person should ever feel handicapped again.
