I know a high school student that is looking for information into the beginnings of prosthetics in the United States. This is a project for his history class. I remember an article I read recently that I cannot find and if any of you know where to find it or any other info that would help I would be most appreciative. The article I read followed the two people credited with starting the prosthetic industry in this country, J.E. Hanger and I cannot remember the other name but it led to Ohio Willow Wood being formed. It talked about the worlds fair in New York where amputees were running foot races for cheering crowds and the like.
If anybody can point me to a resource for historical information on prosthetics please email me directly.
