A significant increase in the number of health problems that require prosthetic and orthotic intervention is ever-increasing as a result of an aging population, an increase in pathologies such as diabetes, peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and congenital limb deficiency, and trauma. This has generated a global demand for technological advancements in the prosthetics and orthotics sector.

As a society, we strive to address current challenges within the wider healthcare technology sector and produce innovative solutions needed to meet aspirations of prosthetic and orthotic users.
