Orthotists design, make, and fit adaptive orthopedic braces, which are used to support weakened or defective body parts, such as the neck, back, and limbs. Prothetists design, make, and fit prostheses, which are artificial limbs or facial parts. These are used to replace body parts lost by injury or missing from birth. Professionals with this expertise are able to give new life and mobility to patients across the globe. Many of our Orthotics and Prosthetics pre-health students go on to further study at Loma Linda University, and become engaged in many aspects of national and international service.
