Welcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace!
This month's Corner highlights articles from the journal Gait and Posture, an excellent editorial by Dr. Dudley Childress from the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, and a brief report from the first day of the AOPA Annual Meeting in Chicago. A short review of an excellent recent text on partial foot prostheses is also presented.
Additional chapters from the Spanish language textbook on Prosthetics are available for downloading. The entire text on Orthoses has now been posted and remains available for downloading as well.
Thanks to the generosity of Sr. Alberto Castillo from Mexico City, the articles in this Corner will now be available in Spanish too. A
brief biography
is posted, listing just a few of Sr. Castillo's many accomplishments. Additional chapters from the texts on lower limb prosthetics and orthotics that have been translated into Spanish are also available for downloading.

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.
