Recognized as a legendary pioneer, Ivan Long, CP(E)
began his distinguished career in the orthotics and prosthetics
field in a saddle shop. The leatherwork he did as a horse trainer
led to an interest in orthotics manufacturing. An interest
heightened, perhaps, by a personal desire for a better gait, since
a polio affliction at the age of two resulted in a weak left leg
and a first-hand appreciation of the challenges and benefits of the
field.
