Path Forecast
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
opportunities for medical appliance technicians will grow about
nine percent between 2006-1016, about as fast as the average for all
occupations. This is because of the increasing prevalence of the
two leading causes of limb loss -- diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In
addition, advances in technology may spur demand for prostheses that
allow for greater movement.
