Advancements in Technology for the Custom Prosthetic and Orthotic Market

Today's custom prosthetic (artificial limbs) and orthotic (braces for the body) devices are engineered using carbon fiber, microprocessors and other cutting-edge innovations. Geauga Rehabilitation Engineering (GRE), Inc. is a leader in the field in utilizing this technological trend in patient care. Jonathan Naft, CPO of GRE, launched the first microprocessor-controlled leg and arm bracing, and is the 2014 Academy recipient of the Clinical Creativity Award. He will expound on this technology and the pathways it generates into technical, engineering, clinical and business careers.

 

Oliver Richard One of my favorite things about Lakeland is the CCP program, which is a great opportunity to earn college credit so that I'm able to save time and money in the future. It was great that I was able to earn two degrees while still in high school, so I can earn my bachelor's degree in 2 years. Oliver Richard College Credit Plus

Ariana Oroz I loved coming to class to learn about real-life cases that my professors have experienced and the opportunity to go through mock crime scene scenarios. Especially with the recent development of the criminal justice program, I enjoyed "investigating" a "residence", simulating a grave excavation, and lifting fingerprints. It is a bittersweet moment that I will be graduating. Ariana Oroz Criminal Justice
