Dear Listmembers:
On September 23, 2003, I posted the following inquiry under the subject heading O&P technological developments:
Dear Listmembers:
A Physiatrist has asked me to provide assistance in gathering background information for a presentation she will be doing, the theme of which is O&P technological developments from a historical perspective. With that in mind, what do you consider to the the most significant technological developments/breakthroughs in each of the previous five decades ( 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990).
I will post a summary of the responses I receive.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Shortly after I sent this inquiry, my computer crashed causing me a great deal of grief in recovering files that were not yet backed up including the responses that I had received. Fortunately, I was able to recover most of the data including the following three responses:
1970's: introduction of plastics
1960-70: myoelectrics
1980´s: endoskeletal, acrylic resin, carbon fiber lay-ups
1990´s: microprocessors, vertical shock, gel liners, locking suspensions
Advanced socket designs throughout must receive credit for success.
