Pledge of Excellence
ACTRA’s dedicated, caring professionals adept in applying
advances in orthotic/prosthetic technology and materials have
dramatically improved life for people with a wide range of
physical disabilities. Today’s amputees can walk and
run — many even enjoy challenging sports and recreation
such as basketball, snow skiing, and mountain climbing. Children
with mobility impairments and neuromuscular disorders can
attend school, participate in recreation, and look forward
to a meaningful future. The frail elderly and adults combating
the effects of diabetes obtain supportive and protective assistance
that widens their world while prolonging their independence.
Eliminating barriers to full participation in society is
the essence of rehabilitation — and it’s what
ACTRA does best. We safeguard our profession by observing
rigorous standards of care, practicing administrative efficiencies,
and encouraging bright, talented young people to enter this
field through our supervised residency programs. ACTRA pledges
to champion both rehabilitation care and expanded opportunities
for children and adults with physical disabilities well into
the years to come.
