I have been involved and worked in all forms of Orthotic care and treatment for over 30+ years. For 24 years 10 months I worked within a public hospital at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH) as a Senior Orthotic Technician.

For an example of the high level of studies undertaken, I completed two separate Anatomy and Physiology courses to achieve competency for both of these different qualifications, other subjects completed in the course were Biomechanics. Once I completed my studies in a Diploma in Health Prosthetic &amp; Orthotic Technology, I was not given permission to use the title of Orthotic Prosthetic Technologist at TQEH.<br \/>\nAn Orthotic Prosthetic Technologist gives an evaluation of the patient's Orthotic treatment, and fabricates a custom made Orthoses for fitting on the patient's extremity.
