An orthoprosthetist is a healthcare professional who specializes in the design, fabrication, and fitting of orthotic and prosthetic devices. Orthotics are used to support, align, or improve the function of limbs or the spine, while prosthetics replace missing limbs. These specialists work closely with patients to assess their needs, ensuring that the devices enhance mobility and quality of life. Their role often involves collaboration with other healthcare providers to create tailored solutions for individuals recovering from injury, surgery, or congenital conditions.
