The International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO) has again awarded the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics (ABC) and the National Commission on Orthotic and Prosthetic Education (NCOPE) Category I recognition, a distinction first awarded in March of 2009.
The Category I recognition validates the ABC/NCOPE pathway for those individuals interested in obtaining their certified prosthetist/orthotist designation. The standards ISPO enforces are recognized by the World Health Organization.
