About Range of Motion Project (ROMP)
ROMP is a non-profit, for-impact healthcare organization dedicated to providing prosthetic and orthotic care to those without access to these services. Itsย mission is to provide high quality prosthetic care in underserved populations, which enhances mobility and unlocks human potential.

The organization seeks to eliminate ambulatory disability by providing a preferential option in orthotic and prosthetic care. By supplying prosthetic limbs and orthotic braces to those who do not have access to these services, ROMP’s aim is to return patients to their families and communities as productive, healthy individuals.=

ROMP puts forth that disability is caused by broken devices and broken healthcare systems โ€“ not broken bodies โ€“ and we work to increase the mobility, visibility, and dignity of all those marginalized by lack of access to rehabilitative technology.
