In conjunction with the O&P Alliance, the National Association for the
Advancement of Orthotics and Prosthetics (NAAOP) released a
statement about opposing direct-to-consumer distribution models for
custom orthotic and prosthetic devices. The statement "seeks to address
a troubling trend where some companies are marketing O&P care
through a direct-to-consumer distribution model, in many instances,
cutting out the trained prosthetist or orthotist, as well as the physician
and therapist, from the care continuum."
Five O&P organizations comprise the Alliance: NAAOP; the American
Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists; the American Board for
Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics, and Pedorthics; the American
Orthotic & Prosthetic Association; and the Board of
Certification/Accreditation.
