Practice Analysis of Certified Practitioners in the Disciplines of Orthotics and Prosthetics
September 2022
Survey Return Rate
Of the 5,504 certified practitioners invited to participate, 1,645 O&P practitioner professionals (29.9%) submitted a complete or partial response. To be included in the final analysis, Prometric’s data analysis protocol requires that responses be at least 55% complete (excluding background information questions). A total of 975 survey responses qualified to be used for the final analyses, resulting in a useable response rate of 17.7%.
Based on the analysis of survey responses, a representative group of O&P practitioner professionals completed the survey in sufficient numbers to meet the requirements to conduct statistical analysis. This was evidenced by the distribution of responses for each of the background information questions and was confirmed through discussion with the task force.
