"Lyons P&O has been very helpful to me with my prosthesis. I would recommend them to anyone. They take very good care of you. I've also received a lot of informative materials from them that helps me better understand my situation. Their care and concern are genuine."

 

As you know, amputees are being refused the insurance benefits that they need to live active and productive lives.  Coverage is variable and inadequate to meet individual needs.  The Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) is committed to tackling these issues head on through legislative remedies as well as playing a role in the larger debate around health care reform.

The course entitled "Introduction/Review Of Lower Extremity Prosthetics," covered prosthetic history, followed by detailed prosthetic advancements.
