Laboratory Certification
There are currently two certifying bodies in the United States:
- American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics (ABC) - 1948
- Board of Orthotic/Prosthetic Certification (BOC) - 1984
Each of our labs is accredited by one or both of these
independent organizations (ABC or BOC) to ensure quality care and services are provided
by trained and educated practitioners.
