The Range of Motion Project (ROMP) is a nonprofit organization with the mission of ensuring access to high-quality prosthetic care for underserved people, improving their mobility and independence. ROMP operates clinics in Guatemala and Ecuador that fabricate prostheses for people with amputation year-round. Approximately 95% of the components ROMP uses to fabricate these prostheses are recycled from clinics and individuals in the United States. Our Limb Disassembly Day is an opportunity for volunteers from the Denver area to be part of our mission. During this activity we will be disassembling donated prostheses, and cleaning, sorting, and packing components for use in our Ecuador and Guatemala clinics.

Mission Statement
ROMP’s mission is to provide high quality prosthetic care in underserved populations, which enhances mobility and unlocks human potential.
Description
ROMP believes that prosthetic limbs and orthotic braces are not simply medical devices, but instruments of personal empowerment. By supplying prosthetic limbs and orthotic braces to those who do not have access to these services, they aim to return patients to their families and communities as productive, healthy individuals. ROMP understands that disability is caused by broken devices and broken healthcare systems - not broken bodies - and they work to increase the mobility, visibility, and dignity of all those marginalized by lack of access to rehabilitative technology.
