Welcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace!
This Corner highlights just a few of the excellent presentations from the Academy Meeting and features a downloadable video clip from a new CD packed full of harnessing tips and terminal device videos. It also includes a reminder about the ISPO Congress being held in Buenos Aires, Argentina this Fall.
All chapters from the Spanish language textbooks on Lower Limb Prosthetics and Orthotics have been posted, and remain available for downloading, along with the classic text from UCLA on Upper Limb Prostheses.
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.
Please feel free to leave your comments and suggestions regarding this information in our

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: The Pedorthist.
Thank you for the inquiry, Alberto. I suppose the best translation for the English word "Pedorthist" might be something like "foot orthotist". As you may know, the Certified Pedorthist is a recognized health care professional in the USA. ... read more
