DoD Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes Orthotics Outcomes Research Award: The FY16 OPORP OORA challenges the scientific community to address which orthotic devices, treatments, and technologies will generate the best patient outcomes. Outcomes research will further support evidence-based practice, allowing providers to optimize the care to Service members and Veterans with limb loss and/or limb impairment. It is expected that any research findings will also provide benefit to the general population. Applications involving multidisciplinary collaborations among academia, industry, the U.S. military Services, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and other Federal Government agencies are highly encouraged.
The OORA is intended to support research that evaluates the comparative effectiveness of orthotic clinical interventions and/or their associated rehabilitation interventions, using patient-centric outcomes for Service members and Veterans who have undergone limb impairment.
