Welcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace!
This first Corner of the New Year features some commentary on Observational versus Instrumented Gait Analysis, on the Energy Efficiency Index for walking, and notes three low cost approaches to gathering objective data about your patient's gait. It includes the synopsis of a case where a policyholder successfully sued her insurer for denying disability benefits. A brief look at Hanger and Chrysler stock prices at year's end wraps up the articles.
All chapters from the Spanish language textbooks on Lower Limb Prosthetics and Orthotics have been posted, and remain available for downloading.
Best wishes to all our readers for a healthy and Happy New Year.
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.

Re: VA Long Beach Conference on Clinical Excellence
Thanks Sandy. I really enjoyed many of the papers, particularly those that reviewed literature in areas where I am not as current as I would like to be. --John Michael CPO
