Lawrence R. Lange Passes

Lawrence R. Lange, CPO, FAAOP, who spent a lifetime devoted to a broad range of work in the orthotics and prosthetics field, passed away on Sunday, July 15.

Lange was born in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up playing athletics. He attended California State University, Hayward, and the University of California, Los Angeles, earning a bachelor's degree and a post-bachelor's certificate in orthotics and prosthetics. In his working life, Lange was a member and fellow of the America Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists (the Academy). He also served as vice president for Hanger Orthopedics. In the mid-1980s, Lange developed the Lange Silicone Partial Foot Prosthesis. He was a popular lecturer as well as the co-author of textbooks used to train new practitioners. Lange most recently practiced at McCleve Orthotics and Prosthetics in Mesa, Arizona. Friends and family said Lange took great pleasure watching a patient walk out of his office after being unable to walk in.

Lange's life was as full outside of orthotics and prosthetics as it was inside. He participated in Civil War re-enactments as a medical officer and sang tenor in the choir with his wife, Judianne.

Lange is survived by his wife, Judianne; and two children, Ashley and Jeffery; as well as his mother and father, Lorraine and Jacque Lange; and sister, Michele.
