Introduction

The 2026 O&P Compensation, Benefits, & Operations Survey promises to provide the most timely and comprehensive profile of peer performance report available. This survey will result in comprehensive benchmarking tools, the data and insights you need to understand not only where your business stands today, but how the O&P profession is evolving over time.

The survey, sponsored by the American Orthotics & Prosthetics Association (AOPA) and administered by Kai Analytics, is conducted to collect important data on the orthotics and prosthetics profession.

The 2026 survey will be conducted primarily online, which will allow different sections of the survey to easily be assigned to the appropriate personnel within your organization (e.g. sending the Staffing section to the HR/Benefits officer).

For completing the survey:

• Every organization will receive a FREE copy of the final report providing financial and compensation benchmarks against which you can compare your own operations and compensation practices.
• All participating organizations will receive a confidential Company Performance Report that will compare your own performance against similar O&P facilities.
• Participant organizations will also be eligible for incentives, to be determined before the survey is released.
• Participation is open to both AOPA member and non-member organizations.
