Welcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace!
This Corner will depart from the customary format and focus on the rapidly changing developments regarding the certification of prosthetists and orthotists in the USA. Although this topic will be of greatest interest to the American practitioner and clients, it may be useful for others around the world to ponder this situation too. The regular Corner format will resume in April.

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.

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.
