Gainesville Prosthetics is expanding! DeAnna M. Clough, MSPO, CO joined our team on November 3rd, 2008 and is currently accepting new patients. DeAnna brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the provision of orthotic and prosthetic care, specializing in scoliosis management, advanced lower extremity orthotics, and amputee rehabilitation.
DeAnna is one of only a handful of people nationwide who has a Masters level education in orthotics & prosthetics. Prior to joining Gainesville Prosthetics, DeAnna received her Bachelors of Science decree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois and her Masters of Science in Prosthetic and Orthotics from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Following her 2 year residency in Orthotics & Prosthetics at the University of Alabama - Birmingham, DeAnna became certified as an orthotist by the American Board for Certification in O&P and will be completing her prosthetic board exams in early 2009.
Using this strong academic background, she will be involved in the development of outcome studies that will be integrated into our treatment regime. These studies will reach beyond our own practice and community. Through the orthotic & prosthetic software that was developed by our sister company, O&P Digital Technologies, we will be gathering standardized data from more than 100 O&P practices and using that data to improve the care provided by our entire profession, starting right here in Gainesville.
