Nunnery O & P is the leading Prosthetic/Orthotic research collaborator in the state of Rhode Island. We have strong  ties as research collaborators with the University of Rhode Island's Neural Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory (NREL), as well as with the Providence Veterans Medical Center. 

CHECK OUT THE "BIONIC LEG" CLIP:

Some very unique research is taking place right on the shores of the Ocean State. Thank you URI Neural Rehabilitation Engineering Lab for leading with innovative ideas and allowing Nunnery O &P Tech to participate as a major research collaborator.
