Mark your calendars for November 5, as we come together to support and celebrate International Prosthetics and Orthotics Day (IPODay). This annual event aims to raise awareness about the vital role that prosthetics and orthotics play in enhancing mobility and quality of life for individuals facing mobility challenges.
This year’s theme, “Personnel – Enabling and Empowering Mobility,” shines a spotlight on the dedicated professionals whose expertise and collaboration are essential in this field. These multidisciplinary teams—comprising clinicians, engineers, therapists, and support staff—work tirelessly to develop and provide assistive devices that make a real difference in the lives of those who depend on them.
Participating in IPODay is crucial for recognizing the invaluable contributions of these healthcare professionals. By coming together, we can elevate the conversation around best practices, promote awareness of mobility challenges, and celebrate the innovations in prosthetics and orthotics that empower individuals worldwide.
We invite everyone to get involved! Share your support on social media by tagging ISPO’s official accounts and using the hashtags #IPODay2024, #ProstheticsAndOrthotics, and #EmpoweringLives. Your posts will contribute to a unified campaign, helping to spread awareness and amplify the importance of prosthetics and orthotics on a global scale.
Let’s unite in our efforts to highlight the incredible work of those who enable and empower mobility for countless individuals. Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of people relying on assistive devices, fostering a more inclusive world for all. Join us on November 5 and be a part of this important movement!
