CPO of the Week: Diaa Abulail from Amman, Jordan

29/07/2026

I graduated in 2023 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics, The University of Jordan

My O&P Specialty / Passion:

My main passion is lower-limb prosthetics and spinal orthoses, particularly scoliosis management. I enjoy combining clinical assessment with biomechanical principles to improve patients’ mobility and quality of life.

What I Like Most About Practicing O&P?

The most rewarding part is helping patients regain independence and confidence. Seeing someone walk again or return to daily activities makes the profession truly meaningful.

What Frustrates Me About O&P?

Limited access to advanced technologies and financial barriers that prevent some patients from receiving the most appropriate devices.

What is your greatest patient story in O&P?

One of my most memorable patients was a 13-year-old boy named Rayan who underwent an above-knee amputation due to bone cancer. Witnessing his journey from surgery to walking confidently with his prosthesis and returning to everyday life was truly inspiring. I also documented part of his rehabilitation journey in a short video, which can be viewed on my LinkedIn profile.

How do you build rapport with patients in your care?

I listen carefully to each patient’s concerns, involve them in every step of the treatment process, communicate honestly, and provide continuous follow-up. Building trust and showing empathy are the foundation of successful rehabilitation.
