Orthotics

The orthotics department coordinates and participates in the examination and evaluation of patient needs for devices to support or immobilize affected limbs. This department oversees the design and fabrication of orthotic devices.

Working from a prescription by a physician, our certified orthotist creates devices to support weakened body parts, as well as correct body impairments caused by or related to conditions such as cerebral palsy, diabetes, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, malformation of bones, spinal cord injuries and musculoskeletal injuries.

Located at the Mount Nittany Health Center for Wound Care, the orthotics department provides services to patients there and at the Medical Center.
