Range Of Motion Project
About Us
Since 2005, The Range Of Motion Project (ROMP) has stood in solidarity with the most vulnerable people with disabilities in the Western Hemisphere, fighting the barriers of poverty and broken or non-existent rehabilitation systems that they face on a daily basis. ROMP's Mission is to ensure access to high-quality prosthetic care for underserved people, improving their mobility and independence. ROMP has provided over 3,000 custom-made prosthetic limbs since its inception and has had over 7,000 patient visits.
Guatemala
ROMP provides care through its clinic in the city of Guatemala, and through a mobile clinic that brings care to remote regions of Guatemala, as well as Chiapas, Mexico, Belize and other places in Central America. The clinic is a Guatemalan-staffed rehabilitation clinic that has had over 10,000 patient visits since its foundation in 2005. The clinic is stocked with the components and materials needed to provide the highest-quality care to patients. Each year, ROMP operates four clinical trips to Guatemala in which international students, faculty, prosthetists, orthotists, and physical and occupational therapy work alongside the local ROMP staff to provide patient care and exchange experiences.
Ecuador
ROMP innovates and facilitates human mobility through its clinic in Quito, a satellite clinic in Macas (in the Amazon), and its mobile clinic patient care and advocacy programs. The Quito clinic has enabled a number of academic, nonprofit, and private innovators to develop and pilot new technologies that will improve the quality of care for ROMP patients. Patient care in Ecuador is conducted in partnership with local organizations like Ortoprolife and Marcelo Paredes, and advocacy is achieved through mountain climbs and hikes led by people with amputations. ROMP also operates clinical trips to Ecuador each year, in which international students, faculty, and practitioners of prosthetics, orthotics, and physical and occupational therapy work alongside the local ROMP staff to provide patient care and exchange experiences.
United States
ROMP operates the Components for a Cause program through which new and gently-used prosthetic components are collected through a collection system at participating clinics and then shipped to ROMP clinical operations in Guatemala and Ecuador, where they are fit for new patients. ROMP organizes the annual Moving for ROMP and Climbing for ROMP campaigns, which mobilize ROMP volunteers in their communities to celebrate mobility and raise funds for ROMP programs.
ROMP is an equal-opportunity employer.
