Welcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace!
The last Corner of this year highlights scientific and technical information from the ISPO/UK annual meeting in Liverpool, England. It also features a short note about the latest in noise-canceling headphones from Sony.
Final 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.
Best wishes to all our readers for a great Holiday Season.
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.
