Noah Nemgar

When a close family member experienced above-the-knee limb loss, I witnessed his progress and was especially interested in how advances in technology led directly to increases in his quality of life. I decided then to pursue a career in orthotics and prosthetics. Now, I love building relationships with people while creating custom tools that empower their functional independence and help them lead fuller lives. This field requires that practitioners be problem solvers, and I relish opportunities to connect and create with people while helping to solve their problems.

My post-secondary education journey began when I earned a degree in business administration from St. Norbert College. The journey continued at Century College, where I studied the technical and clinical aspects of the orthotics and prosthetics field. I next earned a master’s degree in orthotics and prosthetics from Concordia St. Paul. After that, I completed an orthotics residency in Phoenix, Arizona. During my residency, I worked hospital trauma cases, assisted with physical therapy, and created custom assistive devices for people experiencing illness and injury. After completing my orthotics residency, I completed my prosthetics residency at Limb Lab in Rochester, Minnesota gaining valuable knowledge and experience from industry leading clinicians and surgeons. I am now practicing at Limb Lab in Scottsdale, Arizona.

My journey in Prosthetics and Orthotics is fueled by a profound desire to advance the field through innovation and personalized care for patients. Designing and fitting prosthetic and orthotic devices allows me to demonstrate my commitment to enhancing the lives of patients through cutting-edge solutions.

Ross Barker

Ross Barker is a Certified Prosthetist Orthotist and the Glendale Market President at Limb Lab in Glendale, Arizona. He specializes in custom lower limb prosthetics, upper limb prosthetics, and carbon fiber orthoses, fabricating custom designs where conventional componentry falls short. 

Ross fits and fabricates lower limb prostheses at the transtibial, transfemoral, and hip-disarticulation levels, including advanced systems with microprocessor knees and dynamic-response feet. He builds upper limb prostheses, transradial and transhumeral, both with myoelectric hands for everyday activities and designs for specific sports. Orthotically, he specializes in ReAktiv offloading carbon fiber AFOs for complex ankle pathologies – braces that reduce pressure and redistribute weight from painful areas while improving gait mechanics – and carbon fiber KAFOs for a range of knee and ankle conditions. 

His innovative research and design extend beyond standard options. Conventional devices for Chopart amputations (forefoot removed, hindfoot preserved) are heavy and stiff, so Ross developed and fabricated a lighter, volume-adjustable, more dynamic alternative. With respect to micro-processor knees, he systematically reviewed fall-risk reduction compared with mechanical knees. He has presented on high-tech prosthetics to physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, including at the Mayo Clinic. 

Ross earned his bachelor of science in biomedical engineering and biomechanics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and forayed into hospital equipment before recognizing his affinity for blending technical proficiency with compassionate patient service. He earned his Master of Prosthetics and Orthotics from Northwestern University and completed his residency with Limb Lab in Scottsdale, Arizona. 

Born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, Ross practices with meticulous self-reflection and a commitment to learning from every patient he meets. 

Emily Bailey

Growing up, whenever asked the question ‘what do you want to do when you are older’, I never quite knew what I wanted to do, just that I wanted to help people. Since discovering the field of orthotics and prosthetics, I have found a passion for this unique field. I fell in love with the idea of a career that allows me to work with patients while also getting to be very hands-on and creative. I got my Bachelors degree in Kinesiology at Arizona State University, where I was involved in adaptive fitness and got certified in personal training. I continued my education at University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas where I got my Masters of Prosthetics and Orthotics. I feel very fortunate to have returned to my home state of Arizona for my residency at Limb Lab. I continue to learn every single day at Limb Lab and have loved the innovation and problem-solving that we do each day to help our patients regain their mobility and independency.
