John Michael's CornerWelcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace! This month's Corner features the first of a series of reports from the recent World Congress of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics held in Glasgow, Scotland. The first ISPO report will highlight some interesting and novel orthoses. Additional chapters are also posted from the texts on lower limb prosthetics and orthotics that have been translated into Spanish. This Corner concludes with a review of an outstanding text on prosthetic knees that has just been published in the Netherlands.

Please feel free to leave your comments and suggestions regarding this information in our guest book. If you would like to be notified by e-mail whenever this corner is updated, please become a registered user of oandp.com.

This month's Corner includes the next installment of uploads of chapters from the entire Spanish language texts on Lower Limb Orthoses and Lower Limb Prostheses, for downloading or printing. CPO Services is very pleased to be able to post electronic versions of texts used in the former WHO school in the Dominican Republic, with the kind permission of Sidney Fishman, PhD.

I hope you have enjoyed some of the information posted in this monthly Corner. Please leave your comments and suggestions for improvements or topics in the Guest Book.

Thank you.

Re: Re: S.W.A.S.H. Orthosis
I, too, would appreciate reading your results on this, since a new 14 year old patient has one and DOESN"T like it or use it.

Heated shoes
