About Me

Lara Knudson, MSPO, CPO – Owner

I completed my Masters of Science in Prosthetics and Orthotics (MSPO) from Georgia Tech in 2007. I completed my orthotic and prosthetic residencies in Colorado Springs and then practiced as a CPO in Denver until 2011 when I accepted an opportunity to join The Cambodia Trust Indonesia in their effort to establish an ISPO accredited prosthetics and orthotics educational program in Jakarta, Indonesia. This involved moving to Indonesia to help with program development, classroom teaching, and clinical mentoring for the students who would become the first graduating class. I then returned to practice in Denver until moving to the Buena Vista area in 2016. I love finding creative, personalized solutions to improve the mobility and function of my patients and I am excited for the opportunity to provide patients in the Ark River Valley and San Luis Valley with a high standard of care and personalized service.

Central Colorado Prosthetics and Orthotics (CCPO) is a family owned clinic located in Buena Vista, CO. I offer free consultations in my clinic by appointment. In most cases, I can also coordinate with your physician or therapist to meet at their office for your evaluation. CCPO has an on-site lab to provide timely fitting, maintenance, and repair as well as some on-site fabrication.
