John Michael's Corner Welcome to the intersection of orthotics and prosthetics in cyberspace!
This Corner begins by featuring the Century College O&P student association and examples from their "Golden Hammer" competition. It also includes the first in a series of reports offering highlights from the recent Academy meeting in Orlando, Florida.

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.

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.
