	A Brief History of English-Language Periodicals in Prosthetics and Orthotics - Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, ...
		During the late 1950s, the Committee on Prosthetics Research and Development (CPRD), as part of the U.S. Artificial Limb Program, organized a network of Child Amputee Clinics throughout the U.S. as a means of improving prosthetics services for children.
		The ICIB was received with such enthusiasm that the Committee on Prosthetics and Orthotics Education (CPOE) of the NAS Artificial Limb Program applied the same concept to adult prosthetics and orthotics with the publication, beginning in 1969, of Newsletter-Amputee Clinics.
		Because of the similar objectives of Orthotics and Prosthetics and Clinical Prosthetics and Orthotics namely to provide clinicians with information useful in their practice, the respective boards of AOPA and the Academy agreed early in 1988 that a merger of the two publications would result in an even more effective publication.
