                                                 Orthotist

Duties and Responsibilities:

 Prosthetists design and make replacement limbs.  Orthotists work with patients that need extra support for their muscles, spine, or limbs.  Bot design, make, and fit apparatuses made of plastic, wood, leather, and metal that help stabilize, strengthen or replace body parts.  They also make and fit devices that help to align limbs that have grown in a crooked manner. 

Average Salary: $25,000 - $40,000

Educational Requirements:

Students should take challenging science, math, and English courses in high school. 

Reflection: 

Me personally wouldn't really like to be an Orthotist since I don't really like being exposed to broken bones or anything that has to do with peoples insides.
