A future where every person can receive transformative mobility care.
Our Mission
We advance the people and ideas that restore mobility, independence, and quality of life.
Our Purpose
Formerly the Orthotics and Prosthetics Foundation for Education and Research (O&P Foundation), the Live in Motion Foundation is the only national 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated exclusively to advancing orthotic, prosthetic, and pedorthic care.
We invest in the people and ideas that restore mobility, independence, and quality of life through scholarships, professional development, research funding, and strategic initiatives.
By supporting clinicians, researchers, educators, and future professionals, we strengthen the mobility care workforce and accelerate innovations that improve outcomes for millions of people who rely on mobility care every day.

American adults live with mobility challenges
Orthotics, prosthetics, and pedorthics help people regain mobility, confidence, and independence after injury, illness, limb loss, or other physical challenges.

Tens of millions of Americans live with conditions requiring orthotic (bracing), prosthetic (artificial limbs), and/or pedorthic (foot support) care.
