About Range Of Motion Project (ROMP)

Two Scheck & Siress prosthetists, David Rotter and Dreher Jouett, have traveled to Guatemala to volunteer for the Range Of Motion Project (ROMP), so this is a timely point to touch on Scheck & Siress' support for the not-for-profit organization.

ROMP is dedicated to turning "disability into possibility" among amputees around the world.

In May, through the efforts of personnel like Eric Neufeld, a ROMP co-founder, we helped a 16-year-old from Nicargaua, Luis Torres, regain a measure of independence. (That's Eric and Luis in the photo above, outside our Bannockburn office.)

Among other video clips, you can see how Scheck & Siress is supporting the organization's resourceful re-purposing of prosthetic parts.

You can also witness Luis' remarkable speed in taking to his new prosthetic leg.

Burt Constable, a columnist at the Daily Herald, wrote a wonderful story about the role that ROMP, Scheck & Siress and others played to help Luis.

It's humbling to think that Luis is just one of many, many people, globally, who have benefited from ROMP as it pursues its vision of serving 100,000 people.
